IIT Gandhinagar has been designated as a nodal agency for Yuva Sangam Phase V, a student exchange initiative under the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat (EBSB) programme of the Government of India. This unique exchange is all about strengthening connections and fostering mutual understanding among the youth by bringing together students from Kerala and across the country for an experience like no other.

Yuva Sangam Phase V is an immersive journey that gives the youth a chance to explore the diverse landscapes of our nation. It’s designed for students from higher education institutions and some off-campus youngsters to experience the vibrant culture, key developmental milestones, achievements, and lively youth scene in the host state. The programme covers five broad areas: Paryatan (Tourism), Parampara (Traditions), Pragati (Development), Paraspar Sampark (People-to-people connect), and Prodyogiki (Technology).

As the nodal institute for Gujarat, IIT Gandhinagar is leading the way in selecting students for an exciting week-long adventure at IIIT Kottayam in Kerala. Selected students will have the opportunity to explore the region’s landmarks, engage with the local community, and immerse themselves in the rich art and culture of the South.

The last date for online registration is October 21, 2024. Selection will be based on the criteria set by the Government of India, from among those who register through the portal. Details about the travel itinerary and visit dates will be shared with the selected candidates.
