| Amit Bhalerao, B. K. Birla College of Arts, Science & Commerce, Kalyan As an educator, my aim was to achieve knowledge in sanitation which I can use in my town as well as can teach my students in future. With the giant data and knowledge provided to us by CSE, my objective can be fulfilled when I undertake my work. I appreciate the efforts and study that went into constructing and presenting such a giant data mine of information. It will be very useful to all of us and we will pass on the information to the concerned bodies for sure. Another thing that I liked is people from other countries were also given a chance to be a part of the course. This will really help them to make changes in their region. Further training courses on similar quality of life issues will be very useful and interesting. How about self-sustainable communities and such? It would be a nice extension to rural development subject. God bless you all for your hard work and dedication in creating a sustainable planet. Thank you, CSE. |
