The ICCR is making this a collaborative exercise. Thus, it aims to tie up with universities, cultural groups, embassies, research forums, NGOs and other relevant stakeholders. As India gains a strong foothold in the global arena, this initiative will open new avenues to inform the world about the successes, robustness and efficacy of Indian democracy.
