Modi also suggested the G20 team to set up a website to document their experiences.
"Everyone can write in their own languages. How did you overcome the challenges. It can run into 100 pages and can be stored on a cloud instead of a cupboard,” he said.
The interaction between PM Modi and the officials - aimed at honouring the unsung heroes behind the smooth conduct of the G20 Summit - saw the participation of a diverse group of individuals - ranging from cleaners, drivers, waiters, and other support staff from various ministries including the ministry of external affairs, Delhi police, CISF, IAF, among others.
Following the interactive session, PM Modi will be hosting a sumptuous dinner for the G20 team.
