Education Ministry Extends Yuva Sangam Phase V Application Process Till October 25

Yuva Sangam : The Ministry of Education on Monday extended the registration process for the Yuva Sangam Phase V till October 25, 2024. The decision to extend the application window was taken “to accommodate all intending applicants who are interested in experiencing this unique opportunity. This gives more youth, including students and professionals, an opportunity to avail this rare chance to be a representative of their state/union territory,” reads the official press release.

The cultural exchange programme initiated under Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat facilitates collaboration among youth in the age group of 18 to 30 years across India. To date, the programme has facilitated cross-cultural learning and interaction for 4,795 youth across India through 114 tours. It is now in its fifth phase.

As many as 20 eminent institutions across India have been identified for Phase V of Yuva Sangam. Young professionals (employed/self-employed) and students including NSS/NYKS volunteers, as well as off-campus youth (those enrolled for online courses, in skilling institutions etc) may apply for the programme.

Students will get exposure to five broad areas – the 5 Ps viz; Paryatan (Tourism), Parampara (Traditions), Pragati (Development), Paraspar Sampark (People-to-people connect), and Prodyogiki (Technology), states the official press release.

“The exchange programme supported by several other central ministries and departments, takes participants on an immersive tour to paired states to experience local history, culture, traditions and gain a deep understanding of the country’s diversity. Earlier phases of the all-India cultural exchange programme have been a massive success,” the ministry said.

“The response to Phase-V of Yuva Sangam has been truly encouraging. The window for registration which was earlier slated to close on October 21, 2024 has now been extended till October 25, 2024. This extension in deadline has been necessitated by the surge in response in the last few days and to facilitate registration for intending participant. We request everyone to make use of this extension and participate in this unique programme,” said a senior official of the Ministry of Education.
