ITANAGAR, 3 May: The third phase of the refresher programme on ‘Engineering applications of optimization’, sponsored by the All India Council for Technical Education and the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE), started at Rajiv Gandhi Government Polytechnic (RGGP) here on 3 May.
Fifty-two participants, comprising faculty members and research scholars from various engineering and diploma institutions across the country are attending the programme, which will conclude on 8 May.
