The meeting heard from the report on the response to the first issue of the magazine Ghadar jari hai.. There was great appreciation of the fact that in such a short time before the publication of the first issue, so many people from different parts of India and different fields of specialisation had offered to join in this endeavor and become editorial advisors. The decision to bring out the magazine as a quarterly was reaffirmed. There was animated discussion as to how the network of writers and disseminators could be continuously expanded. The meeting also discussed proposals for financing the production and distribution of the magazine.
