This year we’ll have a golden jubilee batch of KIP participants. Essentially this batch will have a candidate from each of the previous 49 batches. In addition, the 51st and 52ndbatches will attend.

Among those who will be interacting with them will be Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and Uttar Pradesh Minister ChetanChauhan will be interacting with them.
