young scientists fom IIT, Kanpur & Delhi , Univerisities

fixed from time to time depending upon the situation and need of the society.
The original plan of work was regularly
reviewed and made effective
through appropriate inputs.
We believe in comprehensive approach towards development. For us self- reliance
