Training at Duke University

TRAINING AT UNIVERSITY OF DUKE,NORTH CAROLINA STATE, DURHAM TOWN WAS A VERY GOOD EXPOSURE AND EXPERIENCE. PERIOD WAS FROM 15 MAY TILL 29 MAY. FROM 30 TH MAY TO 5 JUNE EX INDIA LEAVE WAS AVAILED. THE FOLLOWING POINTS I WANT TO RECORD

1. THE DUST BINS AND TOILETS ARE TOO FREQUENT. IT MAY NOT BE EXAGGERATION TO SAY THAT WITH IN 10 METERS IN EVERY BUILDING A DB IS ACCESSIBLE. ENVIRONMENT AND HYGIENE ARE GIVEN UTMOST IMPORTANCE.

2. THE CLASSES ARE VERY METHODICAL.EVERY TRAINEE IS PROVIDED WITH STUDY MATERIAL IN ADVANCE AND IT IS ENSURED THAT HE READS IT PREFERABLY IN ADVANCE OR AT LEAST IN THE BEGINNING OF THE CLASS. BUT I FEEL ALL THE MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE ON WEB.

3.SHOPPING WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE. BUT IN INDIA WE FIND THE SAME IN BIG CITIES.

4. TOURIST PLACES ARE FULLY DEVELOPED. ALL SERVICES AND FACILITIES ARE ON PAYMENT ONLY.

5IN EVERY WORK AND ACTIVITY THEY TAKE PRIDE AND TRY TO BE WORLD LEADERS.

6.THE NEGATIVE ASPECT IS THEIR FOOD HABITS. A LARGE POPULATION IN AMERICA IS OBESE AND UNFIT TO BE AGILE.

THE PLACES I VISITED INCLUDE NEWYORK,WASHINGTON,WELLINGTON BEACH,SMITHFIELD SHOPPING AND NIAGARA. SAS SOFTWARE COMPANY, RALEIGH MUNICIPALITY,A WATER TREATMENT PLANT, ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AUTHORITY AND A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT WERE THE VISITED.SRI VENKATESHWARASWAMY TEMPLE AT PITS BERG WAS ALSO VISITED A LONG STRETCH OF ABOUT 500 KMS WAS TRAVELLED BY BUS.

IN SUM AND SUBSTANCE IT WAS A GREAT TIME.
