We have come to the end of the newsletter for January, 2023. We reviewed the events that took place in the
entire month, starting from the thon-events, workshops, and faculty development programmes, followed by a
description of Turing, Research Student and Student Seminar Series. We also reviewed the department meetings,
guest lectures, webinars, viva-voce, conferences, synopses and MoUs signed. We presented the publications done by
the student and faculties of SCOPE in January. We showcased some achievements made by students of SCOPE
in outside competitions. We want to thank all the faculty coordinators for guiding us and providing us the resources
on time to deliver quality content. We want to thank the Dean and Associate Dean of SCOPE, who supported and
guided us in the process. We thank all our patrons for enabling an efficacious environment where we can thrive
and create new and exciting innovations.
