EK BHARAT SHRESHTH BHARAT AHEVAL DOWNLOAD PDF FILE by Ehubinfo.com
India is a odd country , whose fabric has been woven by diverse linguistic, cultural and religious threads, held together into a composite national identity by a rich history of cultural evolution, coupled with a exciting liberty 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 cherished into the future.
Time and technology have condense distances as regards connect 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 faith are the foundations of India's strength and all citizens should feel culturally integrated in all corners of the India. Students from the north-east, for example, should not feel like 'strangers in a strange land' when they arrive in Delhi.
The idea of a sustained and structured cultural connect between denizens of different regions was mooted by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi while the Rashtriya Ekta Divas held on 31st October, 2015, to a commemorate the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Honorable Prime Minister propounded that cultural variation is a joy that ought to be celebrated by mutual interaction & reciprocity between people of various States and UTs so that a common spirit of understanding resonates throughout the country. All State and UT in the nation would be paired with another State/UT for a year, while which they would carry out a structured engagement with one another in the spheres of a language, literature, cuisine, festivals, cultural events, tourism etc. For example, the Andhra Pradesh is paired with Punjab for a year 2017. While the year, Punjabis would attempt to learn key words in Telugu , a few Telugu books would be translated into Punjabi & vice-versa, Andhraites would hold food festivals giving Punjabi dishes, Punjabis would perform Andhra folk dances, while Andhraites would perform Bhangra at staged occasion etc. This pattern of cultural adoption of the partner State/UT would be went after by all States and UTs .
States/UTs in India were paired till March year 2019. The paired States/UTs signed MoUs with the each other, outlined a set of activities that they would carry out. An activity calendar for every pair was prepared by mutual consultation, paving the way for a year long process of mutual engagement. Such interaction between various segments of the population of every pair of States /UTs at the cultural level, generated the vibrant of understanding & appreciation between the people and forge mutual bonding, thus securing an enriched the value system of unity in the country. The same pairing of States/ UTs will continue till June 2020. After the creation of UT of Ladakh, it has been paired along with Jammu & Kashmir with the Tamil Nadu. The pairing of States/ UTs is available on the website. New pairing of the States/ UTs may come into force from 01.07.2020.
