New Delhi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi whils delivering Rashtriya Ekta Divas address in New Delhi today morning on the occasion of birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel said the government of India is working on ‘EK Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ programme.
The Government of India is thinking about implementing a programme in cooperation with states in upcoming days. A small committee has been formed to work on its details. The programme will be named as ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’. Our idea is that each year, one state should connect to any one other state in India. Suppose Haryana as a state decides to connect to Tamil Nadu for year 2016. Then students in Haryana schools will be taught at least 100 lines of Tamil language. They will be taught one song in Tamil. There can be food festival, tours of people of Haryana to Tamil Nadu and vice versa. In year 2017, same Haryana would connect to any other state and in 2018 another state. This will bring understanding about India’s unity and diversity the Prime Minister said.
Modi in his speech said that Sardar Patel made India Ek Bharat, now its our task to make it Shreshtha Bharat.
Modi gave example of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam who during his travel between Rameshwaram and Delhi came across diversity of India.
