Honestly, I'm glad she enjoyed the Taj Mahal - our heritage always impresses! But I hope these visits translate into real benefits for Indian students wanting to study in US universities. Visa issues are still a pain point.
Great to see the US-India relationship strengthening. The focus on tech innovation and people-to-people ties is exactly what we need. IIT Delhi's collaboration with US institutions is world-class.
Good diplomacy, but let's be honest - these visits often feel like photo ops. I'd like to see more concrete outcomes for Indian tech workers and students. The H1B visa backlog is still a major issue.
The Taj Mahal never fails to impress! 🇮🇳 But more importantly, hope this visit leads to greater academic exchanges. IIT Delhi students have so much to offer in terms of innovation.
Excellent development! The US-India partnership under the TRUST initiative is crucial for tackling global challenges. Great to see both sides investing in this relationship.
