Yuva Sangam Phase VII Registrations Open: Students Can Now Apply to Explore India's Cultural Diversity Under Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat
The Ministry of Education has officially opened registrations for Yuva Sangam Phase VII, and is inviting young students throughout the country to participate in one of India’s important youth-exchange programs. Conducted within Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat (EBSB) initiative, Yuva Sangam gives students a chance to travel to a different state or Union Territory of India and learn about the country’s cultural diversity firsthand. Students have the opportunity to develop informal relationships beyond their home region. Registrations are open for Yuva Sangam Phase VII.
The EBSB initiative sets out to fulfill the vision of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat. This helps young people understand India’s linguistic, cultural, educational, and geographical diversity through experiential learning.
What does Yuva Sangam Phase VII mean?
Yuva Sangam is an important youth-exchange program conducted by the Ministry of Education as a part of the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat program. Participants of this program are given an opportunity to visit partner states and/or union territories of India, interact with local communities and institutions, learn about the diverse culture of India, build relationships beyond their home region, and represent their culture to the fullest. Unlike traditional educational tours, Yuva Sangam emphasizes experiential learning. As participants of this program learn about the traditions and culture of diverse communities in India, they develop cross-cultural understanding and estimation.
The recently announced Phase VII continues to achieve this objective by expanding opportunities for youth participation across India.
