PARTICIPANTS' SPEAK
The Dialogue facilitated me to live through ages, starting from primitive to pre-colonial to post-independence and beyond. It helped me to have a bird's eye view of the whole scenario, and develop a new perspective on development discourse. The program has a power to change lives."
