" I have been involved with the ALP program since its inception and I am quite impressed by the students and their efforts to learn Biology in this unique manner. As a scientist myself I have believed that teaching should always be imparted through practical experiences. Through all these years guiding students towards their PhD, I have realized that catching them young is a key to wholesome learning. I wish them all the best in their pursuit ahead in their life. "
