Even though the scheme is from Department of Biotechnology, it has also rendered its support to various departments in conducting workshops like Physics of Toys, Endowment lectures by C.N.R.Rao, Prof. Kasthurirangan etc. These Endowment lectures inspired many of us to put forth our ideas more deep into the subjects.”
