What makes this significant? He’s not just attending; he’s speaking on “Accessible Parliament,” spotlighting disability inclusion in Indian legislatures; a topic rarely in mainstream political discourse. Interestingly, he’s not alone. 28 Indian states are represented, showing how regional legislative voices are now gaining global exposure. Plus, he’ll follow this with a study tour; meaning the learnings won’t stay in Cape Town. They’ll come back to HP, and possibly influence how state assemblies function across India. For aspirants: This is a lesson in how leadership isn’t just about local constituencies; it’s about global engagement, policy innovation, and bringing international best practices home. If you’re preparing for civil services or state PSCs, watch how leaders like Pathania bridge local governance with global dialogue; it’s the future of public administration.
