This is the Chandigarh Citizens Foundation\u2019s focus group on National and International affairs. The group would primarily focus on issues relating to the nation and northern region in particular but would also engage with international issues which impact us. Among the areas it would delve into include governance, leadership at all levels and polity.<\/p>\n
