This brochure will provide them with a tremendous platform to reach out to the world outside the academics, where organizations and agencies are keen to hire young and dynamic public health experts who can be an asset to their institutions and provide them the right path towards future development. After going through the profiles, we can definitely assure the agencies and organizations that not only are the candidates extremely talented with unique competencies needed to flourish but also, they have the quest and the inner burning desire to prove to the world their potential. It is quite satisfying to note that so many of these candidates have diverse areas of expertise in which they have been either trained or they have already worked.
