Thanks for this post. I tried communicating it yesterday, but couldn’t submit.
The organisers, however, have been kind ienough to respond to my query and assure me that the proceedings will be published in book form. It will be good if other DDK scholars/fans also similar queries.
I have carried out detailed study on family geneology of Dharmanand Kossambe family from Sanocale.
In case if any body is interested may contact me bsk_goa@yahoo.com
