BENGALURU: The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Bengaluru Branch Office, conducted a two-day Residential Reinforcement Training Programme for mentors on June 27 and 28. The event brought together 56 mentors from BIS Standards Clubs across Karnataka, aiming to strengthen their understanding of BIS initiatives and promote standards-based education.
The programme featured insightful sessions led by senior BIS officials. Narender Reddy Beesu, Director of BIS-Bengaluru, emphasised the critical role of quality standards in everyday life.
