EBSB programme

EBSB aims to enhance interaction and promote mutual understanding between people of different states and union territories through the concept of states /UT pairing. The states carry out activities to promote a sustained and structured cultural connection in the area of language learning, culture, tradition, and music, tourism, and cuisine, sports, and sharing of best practices, etc.

Background: India is a unique nation whose fabric has been woven by diverse linguistic, cultural, and religious threads, held together into a compatible national identity by a rich history of cultural evolution, coupled with a freedom struggle that was built around the tenets of non-violence and justice. The spirit of mutual understanding amidst a shared history has enabled a special unity in diversity, which stands out as a tall flame of nationhood that needs to be nourished and future.

Mission and Vision: Time and technology have narrowed down the distance in terms of connection and communication. In an era that facilitates mobility and outreach, it is important to establish cultural exchanges between people of different regions, as a means to further human bonding and a common approach to nation-building. Mutual understanding and trust are the foundation of India’s strength. Students from the northeast, e.g. should not feel like strangers in a strange land when they arrive in Delhi, or a person from Uttarakhand should not feel like an outsider in Kerala.
