Cultural ideas, traditions, and everyday life aspects were also exchanged.
A special session on Universal Human Values emphasised their importance in personal growth and highlighted the similarities and differences between Indian and Vietnamese cultures. The program also encouraged participants to express gratitude to loved ones by sending thank-you notes. Prof. Manoshi Roy Chowdhury, Co-Chairperson of Techno India Group, shed light on the significance of Raksha Bandhan and offered insights on navigating life.
