Important Connections in New Delhi
In the nation's capital, the OSU team focused on relationships and meetings with the Indian federal government and nongovernmental organizations. India has hit the ground running in the realm of NGOs and nonprofit organizations that are working to improve day to day life in and the future of its people. The brain power available here is gathering together to work for the common good. As noted before, many non-resident Indians spend time and money here to ensure progress, and many are returning to live in India to participate in government, business and education.
