Lakshminarasimhan, ex-joint director of BSI, and Nripemo Odyuo, head, BSI-ERC, served as the coordinator and facilitator, respectively. Kanchi N. Gandhi served as the course director. Prior to the commencement of the course, there was an Inaugural Function, anchored by Chaya Deori (BSI-ERC). Odyuo gave a welcome speech, followed by remarks from Lakshminarasimhan, Gandhi, and chief guest Mao.
