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.
Can you guess the location in this picture?
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.
PS: After watching the video, let me know in the comments which chapter did you like the most and why.

Hello sir,I mostly liked chapter-4(Deserts) that starting part was so nice.mostly I like the architecture and design part in that and in every chapter the background music according to their tradition and culture was so nice concept that’s amazing sir .
I think the location of that starting pic was from jaisalmer.
Thankyou sir for making this video and letting people know about different states.
Thank you so much sir for sharing the video.
I most like chapter 2 as i love travel in water. And i hope i’ll be there one day.
I always feel motivated by seeing you. You’re a big source of inspiration and my positivity. ?
Hello sir
Thanks for sharing this video.
It’s really difficult to describe any single thing. out of all.As India stands for its diversity so as this glimpse of the Bharat Darshan journey.
These are few things that I liked.
Sikkim with its natural beauty and the tribes living in harmony with the nature, a rare example in today’s world.
Andaman islands,I personally want to visit now. The sunset and the trees, very few things in the world can give you that pure joy and happiness that they seems to provide.
The Cellular jail, the buildings of the British period all take me back in time. They give a chance to relive history.
Forest?,I am a nature lover in all its forms. And forest with their flora and fauna, it can’t be better than this.The monkeys, tigers, deers all in the wild reckless and free as they should be.
Desert☺️ If I have to describe the palaces of Rajasthan it would be Beauty in the Barren.
And lastly the song Satyamev Jayate playing in the background with the glimpses of Google, Amul and Gandhiji’s charkha, it’s so beautifully showed the progress we are making with strongly holding to our roots.
This is my interpretation of the journey.
Thank you again for sharing.?
Its really courageous especially for all of us who are preparing for upsc.
Thank you very much. I instantly watch the video when you posted the link on instagram the days before.
Amazing !!
Like the chapter 1 Sikkim features. Really grt any seeing gram panchayat there
Hello Sir, This was a great video.I liked every chapter, as everything had something to learn. Sir i wanted to ask u if u could please share the experience of ur first interview that u gave in upsc, like the way u briefed us about ur last interview. Please. ?
Hello sir,As a whole the video was superb and I liked the araku valley part,because their culture give that sense of true India,and made me think a bit about protecting their rich culture.Thanq for presenting such a high quality video sir,showing the rich diversity of our country.?
Chapter 1 is excellent. Women from leading panchayat to tilling the land.
Experiencing DIFFERENT CULTURES is one of the best things a human being can do.
Inspired by beauty everywhere in the video.
Thnq sir @anudeepdurishetty for sharing useful and knowledgeable info..
The video is sheer beauty.You happen to be right once again.Sometimes words alone aren’t enough.The video says it all.Congratulations to you and your team.Couldn’t have done better.
It does not seem right to pick only a particular chapter of the entire video since it showed various aspects in a different light.But if I have to pick one, it would be the oceans. Have always been partial to the sea since my hometown happens to be Vizag. It felt good to see Visakhapatnam and Araku in your video. We all thank you for sharing your experience.
The video is great
Perfectly edited
My favourite part is definitely CHAPTER 1
As i have profound fondness for nature and also for sikkim state
Although i had never been to that state
I love the fact that it is one of cleanest state with 100 percent sanitation and i could clearly see the beauty of nature. I am pretty sure people can sense peace from that state with buddism all over . Tathagata tsal was truly beautiful
every chapter is beautifully illustrated so its difficult to select one . but i definitely like to mention that after watching this video i have been thinking of doing Bharat darshan at least once in life 🙂
Hi sir Gm …
Please write a blog on how to start preparing UPSC to begginer
All the best for your future career Anna.
Best wishes from Hyderabad!!!
Mountains….that are always fascinating.
Hii sir
It was so good to see all the states of our India dat u have mentioned. Mostly I like the architecture of monuments,u showed me dat all culture n traditions of different states.thankyou sir for making dis video and let people know the diversity of cultures. I always feel inspired by u.
Great experience to witness the diversity and beauty of India.By the way I just saw a tweet of yours sir about BBC dynasties.I think you are aware of Bbcs planet earth 1 and 2.Also I wishyou to watch BBC s wonders of the solar system,wonders of the universe, Life and Human planet.You will be awestruck by watching these too.These are narrated by prof.Brain cox
chapter 1 is excellent.
Sikkim is multi ethnic and multilingual state. we could clearly see beauty of nature at 2:36.
I think you gained more experience from Sikkim.
Watched incredible India from the lens of most credible persons of india.Thanq very much sir for showing the colours of India.
Hello, Anudeep Sir,
First of all thanks sir for sharing the “BHARAT DARSHAN” experience with us, Each Chapter has its own importance, and teach something which is beyond words. No Chapter is less important than others. But at the end of the video, the feeling of oneness emerged that is incredible. No matter where we live, all the parts of India whether it is mountainous areas, Oceanic part, Desert areas or Forest areas, they are the testimony of India’s Oneness. Unity in Diversity is our real strength. “Jai hind”.
Wow sir
Isiliye log ias ke liye bante h
Best days of life
