Students and teachers from the Central University of Tamil Nadu arrived at Delhi University on 27 October for the seventh phase of Yuva Sangam. Yuva Sangam is a youth exchange program under the Ministry of Education’s ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ initiative. Students from the Central University of Tamil Nadu arrived after the University of Delhi flagged off a 56-member delegation to Tamil Nadu for an educational and cultural exchange.
According to the Ministry of Education, Phase VII of the Yuva Sangam involves 20 higher education institutions paired across states and Union Territories. Participants will visit educational and cultural institutions to learn about local traditions, education, governance, innovation, industries, and more. The programme is organised around five thematic pillars– Paryatan (tourism), Parampara (traditions and culture), Pragati (development and governance, Paraspar Sampark (people-to-people connections), and Prodyogiki (technology and innovation).
The inauguration ceremony was held at the Vice-Regal Lodge on the Delhi University campus. Yogesh Singh, Delhi University’s Vice Chancellor, welcomed the delegation and said that Tamil Nadu has made a significant contribution to India’s culture and civilisation. According to The Print, he said language and forms of expression did not divide the country, adding that people across states share a common national identity. “Expressions and languages may differ, but the country remains the same, and the people are the same.” Describing Delhi as a representative of the entire country, he told the visiting students they hadn’t travelled to a different place but had moved from one beautiful part of India to another.
VC Dr Yogesh Singh also urged the youth to understand the country, develop a sense of belonging and contribute to its progress, saying such programmes brought together diverse cultures, traditions and ideas.
Several senior university officials, including Balaram Pani, Dean of Colleges; Geeta Bhatt, Director of the Non-Collegiate Women’s Education Board; Ranjan Tripathi, Dean of Student Welfare; and Niranjan Kumar, Dean of Planning, along with principals of various DU-affiliated colleges, also attended the welcoming ceremony.
