Food and Employment Problems Highlight India Visit
Columbus a report details two Ohio Farm Youth Exchange delegates returning from India after four months.

They observe traditional farming on small plots can be more efficient than mechanized methods. Indian hospitality left a lasting impression, with hosts welcoming the visitors and sharing modest meals. Indians emphasize devout religion and political interest, seeking neutrality in world affairs.
