The Asia Plateau campus, just at the start of Panchgani town is a 68-acre campus. It is well-equipped with residential buildings, conference rooms, trees, gardens, forests and hills. The entire campus is strictly alcohol free and smoking free zone.
The weather is pleasant all year round, and light woollen clothes are recommended. We suggest you bring your walking shoes as well as rain gear along.

We plan to request the Govt. of India for permission for the conference. With our application, we need to submit a complete list of participants with relevant details. When the approval comes, only those on the list would be in a position to apply for a Conference visa. Those applying now may have to get a « tourist visa » as the limit date to obtain a « conference visa » is over.

UPDATED INFORMATION FROM THE PLANNING TEAM
Following up on the news shared two weeks ago, the planning team for the International Farmers’ Gathering is pleased to announce that 88 participants have already registered to join us at Asia Plateau from March 2 to 8.
While we are committed to supporting those unable to cover the full costs (including travel and accommodation), our available resources are currently limited. Additionally, we need to cover the expenses for interpreters who will be volunteering to assist French, Polish and Spanish-speaking participants.
We would greatly appreciate any donations to Farmers' Dialogue International, which can be made using the button below. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already contributed their generous support.
