This is a very good programme. I like its composition where participants from the private, public sectors and politicians can meet and discuss on matters of national development. This is very rare. As a key player in my Ministry, I will make use of all the lessons learnt and this will help enhance especially the budgetary reforms that we have already started.

Workshops of this nature are very useful as it provides us participants with an opportunity to see development that has occurred in these countries over the years, all the result of political will which is greatly lacking in India. Such exposure is important and we are greatly obliged to Aus-HS for providing our technocrats this opportunity to visit various destinations and witness this. We as Indians do possess the intelligence but practically we are unable to apply any of these concept to our needs. All of the plans and methodologies that we have seen may not be adoptable but with necessary adjustments we can definitely make them work.
