bootcamp
Vinod Rai, Former CAG of India
After I have been exposed to the idea of VIF and after I have interacted with the participants, I am very impressed because it has participation of those people in the society who have right amount of education and exposure.
P D Rai, Member of Parliament from Sikkim
This I think is an exemplary effort in changing the mindsets of young people about public policy making and policy makers. Questions flowing from the audience were of very high quality. I think it also shows how well they have taken the entire program which is now in its 15th Day.
Dr Prajapati Trivedi, Former Secretary, Performance Management, Government of India
I found extraordinary students and I look forward to interact with them. This is a fantastic idea and we must make more use of it. I intend to take this out to the government and tell them about the resource that exists in the form of young public policy enthusiasts and we must make better use of these people.
Dilip Chenoy, CEO, National Skill Development Corporation
What got me thinking differently was the use of technology for asking questions on Whatsapp in the hand of the speaker, which was at-least first time for me, but even more than that was the type and nature of questions that came across, the variety of subjects and issues they touched.
as they see it...
