About Yuva Sangam
As a key initiative under the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat (EBSB) program, Yuva Sangam is designed to enhance emotional connections and mutual understanding among youth from various States and Union Territories. The program supports the ethos of “Unity in Diversity” by offering structured visits that allow participants to immerse themselves in India’s diverse cultural and educational landscapes.
Engagements during these exchanges focus on five thematic pillars: Paryatan (Tourism), Parampara (Traditions & Culture), Pragati (Development & Governance), Paraspar Sampark (People-to-People Connect), and Prodyogiki (Technology & Innovation). Participants not only gain insights into local customs and governance but also contribute to national unity, reflecting the vision outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
