For the first time in the history of IOACON conferences; A special initiative is
being planned by way of a study on the prevalence of osteoarthritis in the
Indian population and factors associated with it. A paper, based on the analysis
of the data collected and collated, will be presented at the conference. This
pan-India study will be conducted in metropolises, cities near metros, small
towns and villages.
We also aim to make this a green conference by using recyclable materials and
making it as paperless as possible. Waste disposal, conservancy, vehicle
emanation control are some of the areas where green measures will be taken.

By Air: Agra's very own Kheria airport is barely 5 km from the city and is also
known as Agra Civil Enclaves. Airports located at Gwalior, Delhi, Jaipur
and Lucknow are the nearest ones. We are planning to run Charter Plane
Services for the Delegates of IOACON 2013, Agra from different parts of
the country depending upon the participation.
By Train/Rail: It is surprising to note that Agra has seven railway stations of its own.
However the two major railway stations include Agra Fort Railway
Station and Agra Cantt Railway Station. Raja-ki-Mandi is also a popular
stopover point in the city. Most of the trains running across India pass
through the former two railway stations including the super express
trains known as Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi Express.
By Road: Agra boasts of three National Highways including N.H. No. 2, 3 and 11.
The government and private bus services are available to and from Agra
to all the nearby major destinations. One can hire ordinary buses or the
deluxe coaches, according to their requirements.
