We cannot deny the fact that lifestyle changes, work pressure, pollution, health problems, etc continue to impact us negatively in our lives. The immediate byproduct that comes out of this is stress and anxiety. It doesn’t matter who you are, what designation you hold, how much money you have. Stress has entered the lives of each one of us in some form or the other. Therefore, we must learn to deal with it. The third session of the day was on “Stress Management” which was taken by His Holiness Badrinarayana Swami Maharaj Ji. He was born in the year 1952 in the United States of America. He met Srila Prabhupada in 1969 and in the year 1971, he became his formally initiated disciple. He accepted sannyasa in 2014 and became an ISKCON Diksha Guru in 2020. His talk on stress management revolved around the theme that we are not this bodies made up of chemicals but we are eternal spirit souls who are somehow caught up in this material world and thus undergoing the hard struggle for existence. This struggle inevitably brings with itself stress, among other things, and therefore, the permanent solution to stress is to mold our lives in such a way that we go back to the spiritual world where there is no anxiety, no stress and no hankering. Post lunch, the fourth session of the day was taken by Dr. Prerana Mukherjee (School of Engineering, JNU) on the topic “Transformer Networks and its applications using PYTHON”. She taught on a basic level how transformers work and related it to the chatbots that are trained to give automated replies.Dr. Prateek Gupta, Data Scientist, took the last and fifth session of the day on the topic, “Data Visualisation using POWER BI”.

The learnings of the workshop continued into the next day, 24 March 2023, with the first session of the day delivered by Mr. Ravikant, Data Scientist and Co Founder, BMPL, on the topic “Practical Approach towards ML”. He taught the PYTHON language from the basics and gradually took the participants toward the higher concepts such as Image Processing using PYTHON. His session continued after lunch as well. Then the last and the third session of the workshop was taken by Mr. Nitin Arvind Shelke, Computer Science Engineering, Bennett University, Greater Noida, topic, “Deep CNN for Image Recognition”.
