"The Gurukul Programme is not a straight jacketed course cast in stone; rather, it's like a wish bone, which has the potential to become what you want it to become. Right from the environment and resources at LSE, in the heart of an international, globalised city like London, down to the bright fellow scholars with their extremely diverse perspectives on life, politics, economy and society, it was the most enriching professional programme I attended. It demanded a lot out of me before it turned gracious and gave me equally well. In today's changing times, with the world at once shrinking and alienating, this programme enabled me to see anew, to unlearn and re-articulate who I am and what my role could be in this dynamic, multi-dimensional paradigm that is India."

“Attending the Gurukul Chevening programme, which covers an extensive range of issues, reopened my eyes to an increased level of awareness of a global world teeming with contemporary concerns. At LSE I realized that Globalization is decimating political, economic and social barriers with increasing frenzy and swiftness and has turned out to be the most magnificent melting pot the world has ever witnessed. My interactions with people working in the Government, Industry or Civil Society in Europe, exposed me to new vistas of global and local issues, which require immediate attention and viable solutions. The program enabled me to network with people engaged in formulation of strategic responses to these critical matters."
