MIIT places significant emphasis on continuing education and seeks to empower its faculty members through various initiatives being implemented at IIIT-B, and at MIIT itself. As part of these faculty development initiatives, Prof. K. A. Venkatesh conducted the first session of a two-part workshop on LaTeX on September 21, 2018 in the Programming Laboratory at MIIT.

The session lasted the entire day and saw participation from 29 faculty members from MIIT, as well as 10 faculty members from other universities in and around Mandalay. The second session of the workshop will be conducted on October 5, 2018.

The main objective of this workshop is to enable participants to use LaTeX to create high-quality scientific and engineering documents, research publications, technical reports, and working papers.
