Students gained valuable insights into the workings of Indian democracy and the discussions covered critical global issues, fostering a platform for students to express their perspectives and engage in constructive dialogue. Sharing his excitement, grade 8 student Vihaan Arora said: “I was very excited about the Lok Sabha visit because it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where we met respectable dignitaries like Shri Om Birla, Amish Tripathi, and Rishabh Shah. Also, winning the first position in the Niti Ayog category is an incredible honor. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to participate and demonstrate my skills. I thank my school, teachers and parents for always guiding me. This experience has truly inspired me to continue striving for excellence. We also had the opportunity to meet students from various schools and have interesting conversations with them.”
Equally elated, grade 8 student, Diyanshi said, “We all stood near the Parliament of India, the legislative body of India. It was a great opportunity that our school planned such an event to encourage the students and to know more about our own country.”
