This is Prince Charles' 10th official visit to India.

His engagements in the national capital include a bilateral meeting with the President Ram Nath Kovind. He will also present a Commonwealth 'Points of Light' award to an Indian winner for her exemplary contribution to the field of social development that involves upliftment of disabled children, family counselling and therapy sessions, a British High Commission statement said.

The prince will turn 71 tomorrow.
