PRIDE also conducts a number of programmes for foreign
parliamentarians and parliamentary officials in capacity building

and other specific professional needs. These programmes provide
visiting officials an opportunity to exchange ideas in the context of

their experiences in their own legislatures and to make them aware
of the environment, culture, traditions and working of parliamentary

institutions in our country. That indeed is a matter of pride.

With all the professional expertise it has accumulated and institutional
maturity that it has achieved, the erstwhile bureau (Bureau of

Parliamentary Studies and Training) has now become an institute.
PRIDE has carved out a niche for itself as a premier training institute

not only in our country but for countries around the world.
I am happy that this Publication is being brought out in celebration

of PRIDE’s achievements in capacity building and creating awareness
in democratic principles, ethos and parliamentary functioning. I wish

PRIDE the very best in its future journey.
