Alumni Feedback

“I would like to thank entire CSE team, because in 3 day training we got both type of knowledge theoretical as well as practical. Also, we have been exposed to various best management practice sites with regard to wastewater management / rainwater harvesting / solid waste management. These methods are economically fruitful for any unplanned or old city like our ULB”

Anmol Ratan Singh, District Programme Manager, NPP Deoria
“I liked the training programme and specially site visit to BMPs. It was a good experience to attend the training programme. I have learnt many things by site visit as well as lectures. I would like to attend such kind of training programmes in future as well”

Vaishali Soti, Food and Sanitary Inspector, NPP Amrohaa
"It is an outstanding organization. The implementation of DWWTs and Rainwater Harvesting inside the campus is a best practice which impacted us very much. The same can be implemented in office buildings in Odisha. The trainers are highly interactive and have worked in ULBs. So they could share their experience from the ground which is very useful. Governance issues in water and sanitation sector and reforms- how to address them with case studies may be taken up in next modules i.e. capsule 1".

Mr. Prasanta Kumar Mohapatra, Project Director, OWSSB, Bhubaneswar
