"It was very interesting and informative. Totally enjoyed and learned a lot in a comfortable environment. The style and the knowledge of the presenters were totally amazing. Lectures in Number theory and Analysis were really helpful.
I should really appreciate the effort of coordinators to make the sessions more interactive.
Apart from the academic side, the facilities provided as a part of the camp were up to the mark.
There was an excursion and other entertainment sessions which made the camp more interesting.
It was a great opportunity to interact with participants from all over India who had same field of interest, Mathematics!

"Nurture-2016 was my first ‘mathematical’ workshop. More than a workshop, it was like a career turning point for me. Thanks to the organizer for reserving few seats to non-mathematical students. Being an engineering final year student then, I was not sure whether I should switch to sciences or not. I got clarity in many aspects after attending the workshop. I really liked the course content, activities, exercises and filter coffee"

"This workshop was of great help for me. It greatly helped me in abstract algebra, linear algebra, and real analysis. Basically understanding the proof and writing the proof of theorems became easy for me after this workshop. Previously I used to mug up the theorems. The art of writing proofs helped a lot and the understanding and formalization because later in writing papers on writing own proofs these basics made it a lot easier. And especially in linear algebra too because it helped me with the fundamentals of machine learning. So it was more of the base development these kinds of workshops helped in. I was motivated to pursue a research career in intersection of mathematics and computer science."

"The workshop helped me ask the right questions to understand/approach a given concept/problem and made me independent. The workshop mainly focused on I think four aspects:
Foundations of Math - I remember being able to construct proofs which I never did before, so the path to thinking constructively/axiomatically was laid out here.
Linear Algebra - I was able to geometrically visualize the concepts, this is essential for Data Science, my current field.
Analysis and Number Theory - was more of a revision for me as my basics were clear.
Overall, I brought home a solid foundations in math. Also, the visit to Ramanujam's house was memorable!"

"Attending this workshop has made a drastic change in my career. Interactions with students from different places and wonderful mentors from resource persons have helped me to perceive mathematics differently. Two weeks of completely thinking and learning mathematics in this way have nurtured my mind to think and solve not only problems in mathematics but also in real life. In fact, this workshop has dug into my passion for Mathematics. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed all the lectures, activities, food, accommodation, etc. And finally, this is not an exaggeration, this workshop has made me who and where I am today. I am always grateful for such an opportunity."

as that jump started my interest in Mathematics in earnest. I also
attended TPM in 2018 at the L2 level. This workshop was also of great
benefit to me. The sessions bridged the gap between the kind of math
that was taught in my degree college, and "serious" mathematics. The two
workshops also introduced me to some very close friends."

"While thinking back to the workshop, It was an amazing time that we had there in nurture. Actually, it was the starting point of my career. In your workshop only I first learned how to understand mathematics. Especially your foundation course really laid a strong foundation for me to upgrade my knowledge to this level. Of course, I cannot forget a Professor for his way of teaching, his interaction with us, and all. Also, I had got some nice friends there who were supportive of me till now. Thank You so much sir for that wonderful opportunity, and thanks a lot you treat us as your own children. You made us feel comfortable in every aspect throughout the workshop. Also, I never forget our trip to the great Ramanujan's house in Kumbakonam, and thanks for that degree coffee there. One of the main reasons for my success is You and our workshop Sir. Looking forward to another opportunity to meet and work with you, sir."

From very first day, i decided not to write in class but i was very afraid cause way of teaching differs. Still I just followed what u said and now i write only titles and some connecting points. This take my confidence and awareness to next level. I always try to make notes after class, using class notes (connecting points) and book. I never seen myself so happy and confident in undergraduate level. I am able to learnt a lot in short time. Teachers are appreciating my way of writing and now i can feel that i think straight, in proper way, with proper terms. I cannot express in words how much I changed. I am so thankful to you to change me this way."
