The delegation was then divided into two groups. One group visited the Terracotta museum to commemorate the historic Terracotta warriors in Xi’an. While one team explored the culture at Xi’an and Guangzhou, the other group visited Hangzhou and Shanghai to gain an insight into culture galore and lifestyle of people. They also visited Dodo City Children Centre, a play area for children between the ages 4 and 12, having the unique concept of exposing children to the real life professions. The following day, they visited the headquarter of Alibaba Group at Hangzhou. Interaction with the senior management, other employees, discussions about business and the future plans was extremely insightful. Zhejiang College of Sports was next in the itinerary, famous for providing talented Olympic winners and National champions in different sports including martial arts, swimming, badminton, table tennis and gymnastics. The students also visited West Lake, the spiritual home and paradise for Chinese culture elites followed by a mesmerising view of the entire city from the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai.
The trip culminated in a farewell dinner organised by the Chinese authority with a cultural performance by Indian and Chinese delegates.
The joint effort of Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India and All China Youth Federation (AYCF), through this initiative strive to strengthen the bond of friendship between the two nations. The programme aimed at understanding the cultural diaspora and economical as well as social activities of the nation gives a great exposure and is a proud moment for students of IIM Ranchi to be a part of such an honourable programme.
