Bhubaneswar: A 40-member team, comprising former and current students of Harvard University, concluded its weeklong visit of KIIT and KISS Universities on Saturday.
Among the visiting Harvard alumni were politicians, policymakers, businessmen, educators, lawyers and development workers.
One of the main goals of their visit, under the Harvard India Trek initiative, was to explore the art, culture, heritage and social aspects of India, especially Odisha.
