Tura, Sept. 16: A two-day workshop on document preparation software, LaTex, was inaugurated today at North Eastern Hill University (Nehu), Tura campus.

Organised by the department of computer application, the workshop was attended by scholars and faculty members of Nehu and other institution of Tura, including Don Bosco College. The session has been divided into practical demonstration, interactive discussion, hands-on practice in the lab and book compilation using LaTex software.
