We would like to express our sincere gratitude to UltraTech Cement from Aditya Birla Group for their generous support in being a sponsor for Bengal policy hackathon. Without their sponsorship, the event would not have been such a success.

Their support enabled us to bring together experts, stakeholders, and policy enthusiasts to discuss important issues that affect the state. We are grateful for their commitment to benefit our society.

We appreciate the partnership and look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with UltraTech Cement in the future to create positive change.

Special thanks to Ms. Sharrmila Sarkar and Mr. Mrinal Mukherjee from Ultratech for discussing with us and taking this process to the finish line successfully.
