The training sessions held on July 21 at IIM Bodh Gaya focused on key aspects of public leadership. These covered building and leading public institutions, stakeholder dynamics in policy execution, emotional intelligence in leadership, and collaborative governance for institutional reform. Delivered through a mix of lectures, case studies, and interactive simulations, the sessions were curated by senior faculty of IIM Bodh Gaya to provide actionable insights into effective public leadership. The module was tailored to support cross-national dialogue, mutual learning, and reflection on governance challenges from both Indian and Sri Lankan perspectives.

The visit also included an excursion to the historic Mahabodhi Temple and surrounding Buddhist monasteries, reinforcing the region’s spiritual and civilizational significance.
The delegation commenced their visit in New Delhi, where they engaged with senior government officials and institutions, including the Indian Parliament, IIT Delhi, JNU, UIDAI, and NDTV.
