YatriTestimonials

“The kind of projects and models of governance we have seen make me very optimistic towards the government bringing a positive change in the society. This yatra opened new horizons for me by redefinating development and facilitating a newer perspective of seeing problems. The optimal delegation delegation size ensured smooth and deeper interactions”

“The difference between theory and practical now seem starker to me. I had read about a lot of governance

projects as part of my preparations, but they all of them void to me. The

bureaucrats we met in the yatra created a firm believe that effective governance can be delivered as a

civil servant.”

“When I came to this yatra, I was a newbie to north india.

The yatra took us through the hinterlands of our nation and

I had a baggage of my own misconceived notions. It all looked new to me, to meet

such governance leaders and experience the wide set of

bright spots in governance. This yatra has set the right

precedent to further my future interests in persuing a

career in the government”
