EXPERIENCE

Studying literature and doing practical work is altogether different . The work

which might appear to us as easy is actually not that easy . This was a golden

opportunity which we got in Puducherry . It taught us many things and gave us a

good exposure to the field work . We learnt how landuse surveys are done at such

a larger level . Working as a team was a great experience , it helped us in enhancing

our skills like coordination , patience etc . Meeting and talking to officials was a

very different experience . This internship experience boosted our confidence level.
