    We have received inquiries into starting chapters of VSI from several parts of the country. This would be a welcome move. We recognize the need to take the activities of the VSI to different parts of the country. I am glad to see that the first VLSI Education Workshop (2004) and VDAT 2004 are both being held in Mysore. VSI will be glad to work with individuals/organizations who wish to conduct programs in other parts of India. Our website has a mechanism to submit concrete proposals towards such activities.
