When our group of 18 IAS trainees began our Bharat Darshan journey, I wondered if it was going to be a mere transit from place to place. After visiting 15 odd states and travelling 20,000 km, I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Near the Sino-Indian border, staying with the Army made us witness the tough life of our jawans. In Sikkim’s aspirational district, we’ve learnt how Gram Panchayats can work effectively to deliver public services. Down south in Chennai we visited Tulir, an NGO working tirelessly fighting child sexual abuse. In Chattisgarh, we’ve seen how an ultra-modern smart city was built from the ground up.
No matter where we travelled, each place had something to teach us, something to inspire us. In all its diversity, our journey has taught us one lesson: India’s diversity is not only a source of unity but also its strength and beauty. And no amount of reading could’ve have substituted that sheer rawness of visual experience.
I wanted to write and document about it all. But sometimes to relive the journey, mere words aren’t enough. So here we present our story.

Hello Sir,
Am Sreelakshmi from kerala.Iam willing to appear for cse 2019.I have been reading The Hindu regularly from June 2018 and also i have been revising through the compilations monthly.But now i feel like i dont remember some facts.So should i sit back with the same compilations or should i buy new yearly compilations available in the market.Please suggest a strategy to cover the current affairs for 2019 prelims..
Awesome ??
The best part of this video is Andaman Cellular Jail. Because in our society we have so many disturbing and evil elements (some notorious college students) who want freedom but they do not know what the freedom really is. They should learn something from our real freedom fighters atleast to be the real Indian.
Hello sir,
Sir I request u to plz share ur interview experience.
One small request sir (IAS ane title mi degara lenapudu mi life ni meru Ela chusaru experience share chaiyandi sir)
Choosing one of them over the others would not be fair. India is a rainbow. All the colours are equally important and they all weave India together so beautifully.
I think, putting your experience of Bharat Darshab into words and giving a detailed account of it would've been more interesting and exciting. The video doesn't generate the curiosity that your writing generates. I admire the crystal like clarity of your writing..
Wow ...no doubt I like all the chapters particularly the chapter which includes mountains ,Beautiful nature ,The army forces etc ...Iam the nature lover
Every time somthing new ..get from u sir.....
Oceans chapter was great..sir
I have come across so many Bharat Darshans.But yours is my favourite.
Honestly I like all these 5 chapters.The music composition is amazing.Satyamev Jayate attracts me the most.Choosing one as favourite among these 5 chapters is a big task for me really.
I watch it everyday and it boosts me to persue my dream that I have seen to serve my incredible motherland since my childhood .
