I have been associated with Progyan for the past three years. They have set up a fully functional laboratory in a remote location in Sundarbans which is highly commendable. Progyan has supported two M. Tech. students in their dissertation work, one on float farming and the other on embankments. Additionally, the program is associated with a PhD student working on biofilms. I found Dr. Dey and Dr. Dey to be very dynamic and knowledgeable. The field staff are very helpful. I look forward to having more collaborative projects with Progyan.
