Other Awards
Feb 2011CV Raman International Fellowship for African ReserachersI was awarded a fellowship to undertake research in Advanced Manufacturing at the Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI), Durgapur, India. The Fellowship was Initiated by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, under the Science & Technology initiative to promote scientific cooperation with Africa and is aimed at further strengthening the bond between Indian & African nations through Science & Technology collaboration.Sep 2011Korea-Africa Food and Agriculture Cooperation Initiative (KAFACI)I underwent a On the Job Training in Agricultural Mechanization in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) under the Rural Development Administration. The result was a three year country project funded by the KAFACI. Project results were gazetted for implementation in other member countries.
