AAP Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha has been selected as a Young Global Leader (YGL) by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and would be visiting Boston to take part in a week-long programme.
Among the YGLs, a select few are chosen for the Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century programme at Harvard Kennedy School, the world’s leading institution for public policy. This exclusive programme, taking place in Boston, Cambridge from March 5 to 13, 2025, brings together top politicians, policymakers, executives, and thought leaders for an intensive learning experience focused on global governance, leadership, and policy innovation, a statement by Chadha’s office said Thursday.
Expressing his excitement about the opportunity, Chadha said, “I am super excited to be back at school. I am honoured to be hand-picked for this prestigious programme. This is a unique opportunity to enhance my learning in global leadership and acquire a skill set in policy-making while engaging with some of the brightest minds in governance, public affairs, and public policy. It’s truly a ‘back to school’ moment for me, and I look forward to gaining new insights that will contribute to India’s policymaking landscape”.
Chadha also highlighted the importance of applying these learnings to India’s policy framework, stating, “I am eager to bring back valuable global perspectives to enhance policy decisions in India. The world is interconnected, and learning from top policymakers and experts will help us innovate and craft better solutions to challenges that affect not just India but the world at large.”
He wrote on X, “I am delighted to share that I’ve been selected by the prestigious Harvard University for its programme on Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century – at Harvard Kennedy School in Boston, USA.
As one of the youngest members of the Rajya Sabha, my mission has always been to address the issues that matter most to the people and champion their aspirations. This learning experience with a diverse cohort of handpicked achievers from @YGLvoices will broaden my horizons and enable me to serve you better. I look forward to learning from global leaders and peers, gaining perspectives that can help drive meaningful, people- centric policy changes in India,” he said.
