The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) has recently undergone a major upgrade (the ``uGMRT''
project) that has significantly improved its scientific capabilities, opening up a wide range 
of interesting science areas to the radio community. The first uGMRT results are now beginning 
to appear and the uGMRT will be formally opened in 2019. March 2019 will also mark the 90th birthday 
of Govind Swarup, who conceived of, and led, the original GMRT project. To celebrate both of these 
events, the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research 
(NCRA-TIFR) will host an international conference on radio astronomy in Pune, India, over 
March 18 - 22, 2019.
