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.

Anudeep sir where i can see your or other toppers answer copies? please tell me sir i want to see how you and other toppers wrote their answer?
Hello sir, I feel your blog should be the first site that any fresher should visit. Your experience makes you unique among all the toppers. A billion thanks for putting your experience into this fabulous site to help us. I have a few questions
1. You have made elaborative post on prelims CSAT-1 but please post even about CSAT-2.
2. Do you recommend magazines CSR, PRATIYOGITA DARPAN and sites like STUDYIQ. Please comment why we don’t need these, if any.
3. You recommend non-fiction books but do books like “Dan browns -Angels and demons” which belongs to fiction help us. books such as these are thought provoking and please suggest any books if you feel yes and also why we don’t need such books, if any
Such a great feeling to watch this video.. All chapters are their significance…
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 .
