The India-Yale
Parliamentary Leadership Program is a collaborative program between Yale
University and GPPI-CPR designed to provide Indian Parliamentarians with
opportunities to critically think about the current global issues and
leadership challenges in a neutral environment.
With some of the
world renowned experts of Yale as well as specialist scholars from Think Tanks
and research institutes, the parliamentarians get an opportunity to interact
with them on a wide spectrum of global issues as well as on issues relating to
leadership and management. Lectures, discussions and seminars with renowned
practitioners in their areas complement the curricular activities of the Yale
Program.
An 11 member
multi-party delegation visited the US from June 19 to 27, 2013 to participate
in the seventh ‘India-Yale Parliamentary Leadership Program’. The delegation,
led by Mr. Bhubaneswar Kalita (INC), held a series of broad based discussion
with some of the finest academicians of Yale on subjects varying from economic,
political, security and strategic issues; democracy and the challenges that
confront development issues and contentious subjects of global social concerns
during the 10-day program. The Forthcoming elections in India, the
prospects for Afghanistan and Pakistan after the US military withdrawal in
2014, the implications of political and economic transitions in China are
the topics which dominated the discussions.
