A Case Writing Workshop was organized at the Centre for Heritage Management, on December 15th and 16th, 2016.

Kalro led the workshop with sessions from Professor A.K. Jain, Professor Mukesh Patel, Professor Ruchi Tewari and Professor Abrar Ali Saiyad. The first part of the workshop introduced the participants with the philosophy and methodology of the case method of teaching-learning, followed by participating in a session in which a heritage management case (shared in advance) was used as a class teaching exercise.

The participants are expected to submit a draft within two weeks for further feedback and guidance from the faculty group. The workshop began with an inaugural session on 15th December.
