Yatri Testimonials Snigdha Bairagi Goonj 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 Deepak Kanna Anna University Infosys 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.

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.
