Twelve IAS officers of 2022 batch, hailing from different states of the country, received training on handling ham radio at the BR Ambedkar Institute of Panchayats and Rural Development (BRAIRPD) at Kalyani in Nadia district on Sunday
West Bengal Radio Club (WBRC), an organisation of ham radio enthusiasts in the state, conducted the training programme on the request of the institute that functions under the aegis of the state Panchayats and Rural Development (P&RD) department.
According to Ambarish Nag Biswas, general secretary and custodian of WBRC, the IAS officers training was not similar to that of the WBCS officers, police or disaster management personnel, considering the fact that they will be at the helm of administrative affairs.Related Stories
