It is well connected with trains and roads from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab.

 


Organizers Comments

From the feedback of the participants, we understand that the program was a success in achieving its goals. Participants felt that local facilities are excellent, e.g. food, hospitality and AC accommodation. Also most of the participants were able to follow the course in-spite of their not so good background. According to the feedbacks teaching was excellent and rated the school overall 9 out of 10. However, in general, there are following suggestions from some of the participants:
1. Travelling allowances should be provided
2. Study materials should be provided before the start of the School.
3. Schools on Neural Networks & Applications, Solid Mechanics, Fluid
Mechanics and Nano-mechanics should also be organized in future.
