Our students recently had the privilege of visiting the Parliament of India at the invitation of the Hon'ble Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Shri Jagdeep Dhankar. 

The team consisted of six students from various academic levels - undergraduate students Nikant Yadav and Shreya Rajak, postgraduate students Kinshuk Siyol and Aditi Mishra, and PhD students Abhisha Garg and Rijin Rajan, accompanied by Mayuk Das, Junior Assistant from the DOSA office.

During their visit, the team explored the old Parliament Building, visiting the Central Hall, Rajya Sabha House, and Lok Sabha House. They also interacted with the Director, Research & Development, Parliament in the Central Hall, and visited the new Parliament House, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28, 2023. The team toured the new Rajya Sabha, themed after the lotus, the Lok Sabha, themed after the peacock, and the Museum within the new Parliament House. Additionally, they visited the Rastrapati Bhawan Museum and Amrit Udhyan. 

This visit was a unique opportunity for the students to experience the country's legislative body firsthand.
