The third phase of Yuva Sangam, the Union Government’s initiative to sensitise students on diversity across India, started on Saturday with a delegation of 50 students from Madhya Pradesh travelling to West Bengal for a cultural-cum-education tour.
Under the programme, the students — within the age group of 18 to 30 — will get “multi-dimensional exposure” in five broad areas: paryatan (tourism), parampara (traditions), pragati (development), prodyogik (technology) and paraspar sampark (people-to-people connect) in the host States, the Union Education Ministry, which coordinates the programme, said in a press release.
Yuva Sangam is under the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat campaign of the Centre and it endeavours to promote experiential learning and introduce youth to the rich diversity of the country.
