Pratik Kanodia, Bibhuti Routray

(DE 2019)

It is not usual that 30 people from 18 states get together on a journey of nation building. At least, it has not happened in a long long time, ‘What we do in life echoes in the eternity.’ That moment is here, and we are prepared.

Bibhuti Routray

Democracy Express, 2019

The program was beautifully designed and soulful, something one would not expect from a political program. There was IQ (intelligence quotient), EQ (emotional quotient) and SQ (spiritual quotient). The people, the facilitators, the speakers, the mentors, the cohort itself – there was so much to learn.
