Centre for Science and

Among CSE's most successful initiatives has been conducting training workshops for
different groups of stakeholders - ranging from plumbers and masons to engineers, other
professionals and concerned citizens.
This unique four-day training programme is being organised by CSE's Natural Resource
Management (NRM) team.
