B.S.E.D.C

has multiple class rooms, online labs, seminar and conference halls

with ample space for parking. The laboratories are round the clock

backed by hybrid power (solar and wind) apart from the conventional

inverters and UPS backup support. We got an order from Rajesh Bhushan

training of their state-level officers on computer

competency, articulation and presentation skills,” Sinha

added.

way of class room presentations, practical demonstration and projects

designing, which enhances the prospects and inducts special skills in

individuals as well as group dynamics by its skilled professionals

and various technology cum knowledge partners. Also,

this regard to all departments, corporations and

societies to identify, nominate and sponsor their officials and
