Dear Dr. Barman,
As I can recall, a Training Course was conducted at NIC Gauhati by ICMR-NIC Centre for Biomedical Information in 1986 probably (or it may be 1987!!). It was, as I can recall, held during Mansoon days, probably in August ( My train was late for around 10 hours!!) and one Mr. Goswamy of was the local organizer. Among others two local professionals namely, Dr. Borah , the then Dy. Librarian of Assam Agricultural University and Prema Kanwar of Regional Medical Research Centre Dibrugarh were participants. Dr. Borah, as I presume might have retired by now but Mr. Prema Kanwar is still in Service and details of the Training (exact date etc.) can be available with him. Since I have switched over to completely another domain of Librarianship more than a decade & a half, I have misplaced the certificate!!
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
