Participant’s Feedback:
I don’t know what to write. Whatever you are providing us were beyond my expectations. Never expected or imagined that after taking long sessions till 5.30/6 you are helping and guiding us, providing resources till 10 o’clock at night. Thank you is a very small thing for you. God bless you Teachers.

We are indeed blessed to receive wonderful theoretical and extremely interesting practical sessions with Robotics. Arduino coding coupled with wonderful experiments really made our sessions very enjoyable. I now get the confidence that I will be able to cater some wonderful guidelines to my students at my school since we were given extremely disciplined and very well-rehearsed training by Dr. Debarup Roy and other faculties at the Training Session as well. I am extremely grateful to BESC that it catered to us such as wonderful FDP program – Anuradha Bhattacharya, Jewish Girls’ School.
