Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat

“Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat” is an important initiative of the Government of India, aimed at promoting the cultural diversity and unity of the country. This mission was launched on October 31, 2015, on the occasion of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s birth anniversary.

The main objectives of this mission include:

Respect for Cultural Diversity: India is a diverse country with various languages, religions, cultures, and traditions. This initiative emphasizes connecting the different states and Union Territories of the country and encourages understanding and appreciating each other’s cultural, traditional, and social heritage.

State Pairing System:Under this, two states or Union Territories are paired with each other. They exchange their language, culture, cuisine, literature, tourism, etc., fostering greater understanding and a sense of unity.

Participation of Youth and Students:Under the “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat” mission, school students, youth, and cultural groups are given opportunities to visit other states, experience their culture, traditions, and way of life.
