"The UK side noted and appreciated the Marang Gomke Jaipal Munda Overseas Scholarship and the Chevening-Marang Gomke Scholarship as a living example of the India-UK partnership.

He shared the development, stating that he had shared his views on the possibilities of sustainable development.

In the program, along with other speakers, I also shared my views on the possibilities of sustainable development.

Our goal is also to bring value addition along with sustainable development, job creation, and concrete changes in people's lives," Soren posted on X. (ANI)
