A mission to unite India and its excellence - Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat through Paryatan Parv

The Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat programme was launched by the Prime Minister on 31st October, 2016 to promote engagement amongst the people of State / UTs in the country so as to enhance mutual understanding and bonding between people of diverse cultures, thereby securing stronger unity and integrity of India.

India's vibrant and rich Culture makes India 'Ek Bharat' and 'Shreshtha Bharat'. Culture is the way we Indians live together and remain united. Our Culture is our identity - locally, nationally and globally and we need to regularly celebrate our local culture and cultural acumen and its interface with other cultural spheres around us in any of its manifestations. Paryatan Parv reinforces the idea of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat with the objectives:

-To CELEBRATE the Unity in Diversity of our Nation and to maintain and strengthen the fabric of traditionally existing emotional bonds between the people of our Country
