The valedictory function was held in the afternoon session of the concluding day, in which Vijay Singh (President of Central IAPT, and formerly from IIT- Kanpur, and former National Coordinator of Physics Olympiad at HBCSE) was the Chief Guest. He along with the other resource persons addressed the students, and awarded them participation certificates. Malati Dessai (Department of Physics, Chowgule College, Margao, Goa) delivered the vote of thanks. Based on students’ response, the camp was a grand success. In the verbal and written feedback, many students expressed their interest in attending more such camps and demanded that the workshops be of longer durations. The coordinators conveyed thanks to B.P. Tyagi, who provided encouragement and the NGPE student list. Special thanks were to Somak Raychaudhury (Director, IUCAA), who supported the idea of using NGPE merit list as a means to identify meritorious under-graduate students from all over India.
