From our CEO


It was ICMR once again! But this time it was about a workshop funded by the ICMR. This was at NIPER, Guwahati. The ICMR has recently funded institutions for conducting week long workshops for those interested in authoring systematic reviews.

NIPER Guwahati was the first such institution to ensure that Literature searching - which is the foundation of a systematic review, was allotted a full day. And I was privileged to conduct this workshop!

The session had about 28 participants from institutions in the North Eastern Region. In addition around 22 NIPER students & researchers were also present.

An eye opening feedback was from a participant - Ahmad Rehan was - "It was excellent, I came to know about all this, after my 12 years of experience." !

I was wondering how to estimate the human hours he lost in the 12 years, without this knowledge!

We hope the ICMR will ensure that our workshops and ELearning can make inroads for all systematic review training and authoring, in India. The difference will be amazing!
