The programme focuses on parliamentary procedures, governance, legislative debates, and democratic practices through simulated parliamentary sessions, committee discussions, and interactive engagements.
The achievement has brought immense pride to Don Bosco College, Tura, and the entire region of Garo Hills. Faculty members, students, and well-wishers have congratulated Nandini for her outstanding accomplishment and wished her success as she prepares to represent India on the international stage.
