Benefits

** Most teachers and students worldwide often have little chance to meet Nobel Laureates, let alone the opportunity to interact with them.

** Exposure to the knowledge and experience of the Nobel Laureates tremendously influences our young researchers, not only intellectually but also psycho-socially by enhancing self-esteem and selfconfidence.

** KSHEC seeks to give another dimension to the Programme by attaching a new component called ‘Brain Gain’ to combat ‘Brain Drain.’
