SCIENTIFIC TRAINING AND CONFERENCE ACTIVITY 

To gain the required knowledge and complete assignments of quality research in the field of any discipline of science concerned researchers essentially require periodic upgradation of their knowledge through gradual learning by participating in relevant quality "Tools and Techniques Training Workshops" and "Scientific Conferences" of national and international repute.  To learn and upgrade my knowledge of tools and techniques of doing Bat Research, since the beginning of my career as a Bat Biologist in the year 2001, I have participated in seven "Tools and Techniques Training Workshops" and eight "Scientific Conferences" of national and international repute as listed in "Research and Academic Profile" webpage of my website. Hereunder is the gallery of visuals carrying memorable pictures and available certificates of such participation.
