This is only course that have made me think so differently. When we take something, we think from one perspective but this particular course has made me think in all the perspectives, which is simply amazing. Your idea maybe good or bad, silly or outstanding the facilitators listen to those ideas very carefully. I would express my deep gratitude to Vidhi mam, Reba mam, Deepal mam and Sushil sir.
