Few participants’ comments on FDP:
The approach to connect with target audience was inspiring as Sir initiated his speech by explaining about motivation. He put forward a good comparison between how education in USA and education in India would shape the thought process and develop skills of analysis from a very juvenile stage in human minds. Even though he praised the methodology of US education to build analysis abilities, he did not overlook how traditional methodology of learning mental calculations imbibed by the Indian young mind would enable them to stand out in Foreign Lands. Sir explained how focusing on advance and complex teaching to students will automatically structure their basics and bring clarity to them. He encouraged us to contribute for the betterment of our education system by all means and also gave an insight on how to pursue Fellowship/PhD abroad to enhance our career. - Prof. Swati Sen
