What People Say

Reviews & Testimonials

Feedback from the officials, trainees and partners we've worked alongside.

The occupational safety certificate programme was extremely well organised. Practical, well-paced, and taught by people who clearly understand ground realities in Bihar's industries.

Ravi Kumar Safety Officer, State Industries Dept.

We partnered with DMILES on a migration research study and found their team rigorous and responsive throughout. The published bulletin is now a reference point in our own department.

Dr. Sunita Prasad Research Partner, Labour Resource Cell

Attended the annual capacity-building conclave last December — the guest rooms and conference hall made it easy to focus on the sessions. Well run from start to finish.
