ORSI Ahmedabad Chapter has launched a new conference series under the title Management Science and Practice (MSP) with an aim to promote the discipline of Operations Research in India. The primary purpose of this conference series is to discuss and disseminate applied operations research in the Indian context. These conferences are expected to provide a meeting ground for industry specialists and application-oriented academicians. These conferences also aimed to provide a wide exposure to young Ph.D. students to develop an understanding of emerging areas of research. In addition, these conferences would provide a meaningful platform to disseminate research outcome of a national level project which should bring together academicians, industrialists and Ph.D. students across the country.

The first conference under this banner was held in Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad during March 31 - April 1, 2006, in honor of Professor Jahar Saha on the occasion of his superannuation from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. This conference was attended by about 100 participants. About 50 scientific papers were presented at this conference. The edited volume of the proceedings of the conference is expected to be published by mid-February 2007.

The second conference is scheduled to be held during March 9-11, 2007 in Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in memory of Professor S.K. Srinivasan who passed away after a brief illness in Chennai on October 21, 2006. In the near future, we plan to launch a national level long duration research project to facilitate and promote the application of operations research models in management science.
