Welcome Message

Dear Friends,

We are delighted to welcome you to the 36th Annual Conference – Solapur 2026, organized by the Academy of Pediatrics, Solapur, under the Indian Academy of Pediatrics.

We are proud to host this prestigious event from 30th & 31st October and 1st November 2026 in Solapur.

Solapur is a city where history, devotion, and everyday resilience come together to form a uniquely grounded Maharashtrian identity. Known for its textile legacy and spiritual atmosphere, the city offers a meaningful cultural experience shaped by tradition and simplicity.

At its heart lies the revered Siddheshwar Temple, surrounded by a peaceful lake and vibrant devotional activity that reflects centuries of faith. The historic Bhuikot Fort stands as a reminder of past dynasties and the city’s layered history. For moments of calm, residents often visit the Hutatma Smarak Garden, a space that reflects civic pride and remembrance.

Solapur’s soul is equally defined by its food culture—spicy misal pav, traditional bhakri with pithla, shenga chutney, and festive sweets that reflect its bold yet simple culinary identity. The city is also known for its iconic textiles, especially durable chaddars that symbolize its craftsmanship and pride.

We look forward to welcoming you to Solapur for an enriching academic and cultural experience.


Warm regards,
Team IAP Solapur
Indian Academy of Pediatrics
