Firstly, I would like to thank you for the insightful and informative training sessions. The content was well-structured and provided a good balance between theoretical concepts and hands-on practice using Power BI. I appreciated the pace of the sessions, which allowed me to follow along easily and learn at a comfortable pace. In particular, I found the data modelling and visualisation session extremely useful. Your explanation of how to build a data model in Power BI was clear and concise, and I feel confident in my ability to apply this knowledge to my own data projects. Additionally, the section on creating effective visualisations provided me with valuable insights into conveying data meaningfully and engagingly

Attending the 10th India CSR Summit and ESG Forum 2023 was truly enlightening. As the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, I had the privilege to deliver the keynote, emphasising the indispensable role of science and technology (S&T) in driving our nation's development. Highlighting initiatives such as Aadhar, UPI, and CoWin, we showcased India's prowess in Digital Public Infrastructure and its profound societal benefits. Discussing missions like the One Health Mission and the National Green Hydrogen Mission, aiming for Net Zero Carbon emissions by 2070, was particularly inspiring. The call for academia-industry collaboration and platforms like Manthan underscored the crucial role of S&T in shaping India's future CSR and sustainable progress.
