Exploring one of the world's leading gems and jewellery ecosystems.
As part of the LEAP (Legislators Engagement for Action and Policy) Program, organized by NLC Bharat, the U.S. delegation from NCSL @NCSLorg visited the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) @GJEPCIndia to gain insights into one of India's most globally competitive industries.
The interaction provided the delegation with a deeper understanding of India's leadership in the gems and jewellery sector, the industry's contribution to exports and employment, evolving global market trends, and the role of innovation, craftsmanship, and policy in driving sustainable growth.
For a delegation whose work centres on public systems and governance, the visit offered something rare, a firsthand look at a decentralised, self-regulated model that delivers consistency at scale without relying on formal technology or hierarchy.

At the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s Young Legislators’ Conference in Bhopal, I addressed young legislators from Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh on the idea of a Viksit Bharat@2047.
The conversation was not merely about the future we wish to inherit, but the future we must consciously build. I reflected on the need for a new political paradigm, one that rises above division, dismantles the forces that have long impeded our progress, and places integrity, collaboration, and nation-first thinking at the heart of public life.
Through platforms like the National Legislators’ Conference Bharat @nlcbharat , we are striving to create a space where young legislators move beyond partisan silos, exchange ideas and successful models of governance, and work together with a shared resolve for an inclusive, empowered and united Bharat.
I am grateful to Hon’ble Speaker Shri Narendra Singh Tomar ji @nstomar for the invitation.

On this Shaheed Diwas, we remember not just an act, but an idea that shook an empire. The British thought they could silence a rebellion by hanging three men. They forgot—you cannot hang an idea.
At an age when most are still discovering themselves, Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, and Sukhdev Thapar chose conviction over comfort, courage over fear, and sacrifice over silence.
Their actions were not driven by anger alone, but by a deep sense of purpose and vision for a free and just India. Today, their legacy asks us a simple yet powerful question—what does conviction look like in our time?

On Parakram Diwas and the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, we bow in remembrance to a visionary leader whose courage, resolve, and relentless commitment to Bharat's freedom continue to inspire generations. Netaji stands as an enduring symbol of patriotism, selfless service to a nation, and fearless leadership, values that remain deeply relevant even today.
Jai Hind!

On National Mathematics Day, we remember Shri. Srinivasa Ramanujan, a mind that saw infinity where the world saw numbers, and ideas reshaped the world.
#NLCBharat#BharatiyaChhatraSansad
As we remember him today, we continue our commitment to carry forward the ideals he stood for with sincerity, integrity, and purpose.
We pay our heartfelt tribute to Shri Shivraj Patil Ji.
Om Shanti.
Shri Shivraj Patil Ji’s passing marks the loss of a statesman whose life exemplified calm strength, constitutional clarity, and deep commitment to public leadership.
