Not many people know the democratic roots or democracy as a concept, as participatory governance....the roots are here and thousands of years back there were the concepts of Sabha and Samiti. So democracy has not come from outside. It has evolved over a period of time in Indian soil. So there is going to be an exhibition called Bharat, the Mother of Democracy,” he said.The official added that an experience panel has been created for delegates to experience how UPI payments are made and how India has been leading in the sector of digital payment.PM Modi had said that the G20 Summit hosted by India will see the biggest participation and the country has made G20 an inclusive forum in its presidency.He said the African Union also joined the G-20 on India’s invitation and the voice of the people of Africa reached this important platform of the world.He also said that India’s digital transformation is powered by its unshakeable belief in innovation and its commitment to speedy implementation.The 18th G20 Heads of State and Government Summit in New Delhi will be a culmination of all the G20 processes and meetings held throughout the year among ministers, senior officials, and civil societies. A G20 Leaders’ Declaration will be adopted at the conclusion of the New Delhi Summit, stating Leaders’ commitment towards the priorities discussed and agreed upon during the respective ministerial and working group meetings.About 200 meetings related to G20 were organized in 60 cities across the country.
