The project is to enable the student to get an overall understanding of Biomedical Waste Management
The student must be able to provide a detailed project report involving the various aspects as defined in the charter
The student must also display some analytical skills for better understanding
Students may choose to collaborate with other fellow interns, however the report presentation shall be done individually
