In case you are not very good with numbers, we have highlighted the top 3-4 items in each category :)

Meeting with Prof.Ashwin Mahesh

Naveen - 21-MAR-2009

He touched upon prevailing operational practices & existing mindsets within BMTC as also those of the expectations of people with regard to BMTC services. He dealt with various issues in an extremely systematic & orderly way & explained all aspects – indeed in a most impressive manner.
