India is a country of sub-continental proportion. More than the size, the population map of India stands out because of its immense diversity. This diversity has been sustained over centuries largely because of the numerous traditions, practices and knowledge systems, which communities across the country have relentlessly nurtured and come to represent in myriad forms.
This idea of a sustained and structured cultural connect between people of different regions was mooted by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India during the Rashtriya Ekta Divas (31st October, 2015) on the occasion of birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to celebrate cultural diversity through mutual interaction and reciprocity between people of different States and UTs.
Towards achieving this, Karnataka and Uttarakhand has been paired with each other for a year, during which they would carry out a structured engagement with one another in the spheres of language, literature, cuisine, festivals, cultural events, tourism etc.
Our school, Vydehi School of Excellence, will organize different activities in a year under ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat’ Programme during the year. These activities will be in coordination with Army Public School, Dehradun.
Interested students will be part of ‘MILAAP’- EBSB club to participate in various activities and will be rewarded for their good performances in EBSB activities in the form of certificates, badges, appreciation letters, etc.
