During the visit, the delegation called on the Vice President of India and visited the Parliament of India, an experience many described as entering the temple of democracy. The group also visited Rashtrapati Bhavan and interacted with national leaders including Shri Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs of India and Shri Mansukh Mandaviya, Minister of Labour and Employment and Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports. They engaged with technology sector C-suite leaders, participated in a UPSC coaching module, and interacted with senior interlocutors across governance, public policy, development, technology, diplomacy, and cultural soft power.
The itinerary included visits to Swaminarayan Akshardham, the Lotus Temple, and the exhibition “The Light and the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One,” where the sacred Piprahwa Relics of Lord Buddha are displayed, which deeply resonated with many participants from the Darjeeling hills.
