New Delhi, March 6: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha has been selected as a Young Global Leader (YGL) by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The distinction was awarded to the AAP leaders under 40 years age category.

“Among the YGLs, a select few are chosen for the Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century program at Harvard Kennedy School, the world’s leading institution for public policy. This exclusive program, taking place in Boston, Cambridge from March 5 to 13, 2025, brings together top politicians, policymakers, executives, and thought leaders for an intensive learning experience focused on global governance, leadership, and policy innovation,” said the office of the AAP in a media statement.

The Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) has a long-standing reputation for developing world-class leaders in governance, diplomacy, and administration. Many of its alumni have gone on to become heads of state, senior government officials, and influential decision-makers across sectors.

“The Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century program is specifically designed to enhance the leadership, negotiation, and strategic decision-making skills of those tackling some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Participants engage in rigorous academic sessions, case studies, peer-to-peer learning, and discussions with Harvard’s distinguished faculty and global experts,” said Chaddha’s office in the statement.

At a time when nations are grappling with challenges such as unemployment, climate change, economic volatility, energy crises, and growing social and economic inequalities, this program provides leaders with cutting-edge insights, tools, and strategies to navigate complex policy landscapes and drive impactful change.

“The curriculum blends theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, ensuring that participants gain both a global perspective and practical problem-solving skills,” added Chadha’s office.

Expressing his excitement about the opportunity, Chadha said, “I am super excited to be back at school. I am honoured to be hand-picked for this prestigious program, and deeply grateful to the Harvard as well as World Economic Forum for this opportunity.”

He also stated that “this is a unique opportunity to enhance my learning in global leadership and acquire a skill set in policy-making while engaging with some of the brightest minds in governance, public affairs, and public policy”.

“It’s truly a ‘back to school’ moment for me, and I look forward to gaining new insights that will contribute to India’s policymaking landscape,” added Chadha.

He also highlighted the importance of applying these learnings to India’s policy framework, stating, “I am eager to bring back valuable global perspectives to enhance policy decisions in India. The world is interconnected, and learning from top policymakers and experts will help us innovate and craft better solutions to challenges that affect not just India but the world at large.”
