Regional Refresher Courses (RRC) 2020

Dear Friends

Trust you and the family are safe…

We are pleased to inform you that ASI’s annual flagship Regional Refresher Courses (RRC 2020) is all set to commence in the first week of August 2020. For the FIRST time ever, all the six RRCs this year would be held on a web based platform. In fact, the hugely popular National Online Skills Enhancement Programme (NSEP), commenced in June would seamlessly transition to the Regional Refresher Courses in August.

Each Zone will have presentations from Residents selected through an MCQ test. To ensure equal opportunity, Faculty would be identified exclusively from the respective Zone where the RRC is held.

Registration is Mandatory, but is FREE to all, including Postgraduate student members of ASI (Associate members).

Please note that ONLY Registered members will be sent the link to participate in the Programme. They alone would have exclusive access to attend ALL the six RRCs, which provides an unrestricted platform for unique “pan India’ exposure to teachers & teaching from all across the Country.
