The village of **Daulatpur Nasirabad** in Gurgaon was renamed **Carterpuri** in honor of a visit from former US President **Jimmy Carter** in 1978.
Carter’s visit was significant as it marked his first year of presidency and showcased his connection to India through his mother, a former **Peace Corps** volunteer.
During his trip, Carter praised India's democracy during a speech at Parliament, highlighting its diverse culture and political achievements.
A warm reception awaited Carter in the village, which included traditional customs and gifts, emphasizing the villagers' pride and enthusiasm for his visit.
Despite the renaming and the enthusiasm generated from his visit, improvements in infrastructure and living conditions in Carterpuri have remained limited.
