I got an opportunity to pursue the Certificate course on Operational Research offered jointly by FHTS & PIPH through the virtual platform. Being a newly budded public health professional, the course was fruitful for me as it enhanced the knowledge on various types of  research  and its respective methodologies, which are underpinned with technological aspects. The key attraction of the course was the curriculum, which  emphasised on requirements to accomplish the research comprehensively. The assignments, discussion forums which were brainstorming exercises and the latter  provided different views from the co-learners. Also, the active moderations and monitoring by the faculties on discussion  forum keep it  as an authentic  source of knowledge.
