Former US President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at 100, had a unique connection with India, where a village in Haryana was renamed "Carterpuri" in his honor after his 1978 visit. Carter was the first US president to visit India post-Emergency and Janata Party's win, praising Indian democracy and signing the Delhi Declaration to strengthen ties. His mother, Lillian, had served as a health volunteer in India with the Peace Corps. Carterpuri maintains a holiday on January 3 to commemorate his visit.
