During the visit, he explored sustainable township design at Mahindra Lifespaces, learned about bike designing and assembly at the TVS Racing Experience Centre, co-created treats with children at Kinder Joy, and even participated with young firefighters at the Fire Station, experiencing teamwork and safety drills.

Later, KidZania’s management felicitated the Deputy Speaker on stage, after which children presented a vibrant cultural dance performance showcasing their creativity and enthusiasm for freedom.
