Such study visits are also organized for tribals, Sarpanchs, women Panchayat members and other stakeholders from the rural part of the country. PRIDEalso undertakes study visits for deaf and dumb participants. Yearly study visits are also organized for children who are recipients of the National Bravery Award. The study visit consists of a briefing on the Indian political system and other related issues either by an eminent Parliamentarian or by a senior officer of the Lok Sabha Secretariat. The participants are encouraged to ask questions so that their curiosity is satisfied.
