Haryana’s Carterpuri was named after Jimmy Carter
A hamlet in Haryana was called Carterpuri in Carter’s honour, and he was the third American president to visit India. He was the US president with the longest lifespan. He was seen as India’s friend. He was the first American president to travel to India after the Emergency ended and the Janata Party was elected in 1977.
As the only American president to visit India personally, he was the third to do so. His mother, Lillian, had served as a Peace Corps health volunteer in India in the late 1960s.
Carter spoke out against authoritarian government during his presentation to the Indian parliament. ” India’s troubles, which we frequently encounter and are typical of developing-world problems, serve as a reminder of the challenges that lie ahead. “Not the authoritarian way,” Carter stated on January 2, 1978.
“The visit was so impressive that village residents nicknamed the region ‘Carterpuri’ and kept in touch with the White House for the remainder of President Carter’s term. The trip left an indelible impression: when President Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, celebrations erupted in the village, and January 3 is still a holiday in Carterpuri,” the Carter Centre said, adding that the visit laid the groundwork for a long-term partnership that has benefited both countries significantly.
