[Tutor] 3 Dimensional Dictionaries

[Sunil Tech]

THANK YOU ALL for your time.

The first format which I pasted was from the DB

The second format(exactly the same), is to be sent to the view.

If the logic can be fitted in One or two methods it'll help me to easily
understand & to apply.

so I request you to help...
