While it's great to see our leaders on global platforms, I hope the learnings from Harvard translate into real, on-ground policies for Telangana's farmers and small businesses. The proof will be in the implementation.

First CM to do this! Setting a new benchmark. Engaging with Indian students abroad to bring back ideas is a smart move. Telangana Rising needs that global connect.

As an Indian student in the US, it's incredibly motivating to see our leaders valuing education and seeking out dialogue with the youth. Makes me feel more connected to home.

Hope the 'homework' and group projects give him practical solutions for Hyderabad's traffic and pollution! Jokes aside, this is a positive step. All the best to CM sir.

The cost of such programs for a sitting CM is a valid concern for taxpayers. While the intent is good, transparency about the expenditure and a clear plan for how this benefits the state is essential. Respectfully, we need accountability.

Love the focus on making students brand ambassadors! We have so much talent abroad. Channeling that energy back home can create wonders for Telangana's IT and startup ecosystem. 👍
