Yuva Sangam Phase VII: Celebrating Unity in Diversity Under Yuva Sangam Phase VII, the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali serves as the nodal institution for the Chandigarh–Punjab region, paired with the Central University of Gujarat to foster cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and national integration among young people. The orientation program, organized at IISER Mohali on 8 October 2026 familiarised delegates with the objectives of Yuva Sangam, cultural sensitivity, responsible conduct, safety guidelines, and the importance of respecting diverse traditions and values. The initiative is built around five key pillars: Paryatan (Tourism), Parampara (Traditions), Pragati (Development), Paraspar Sampark (People-to-People Connect), and Prodyogiki (Technology). Through educational visits, cultural interactions, and shared experiences, the delegates will explore Gujarat’s rich cultural heritage, technological advancements, and vibrant communities, gaining deeper insights into the state’s unique identity and its contributions to India’s diverse cultural landscape. The Chandigarh delegation was flagged off from IISER Mohali on 9 October 2026 by Prof. Dulal Panda, Director of NIPER Mohali, marking the beginning of an enriching journey of discovery, friendship, and cultural exchange. Yuva Sangam embodies the spirit of Unity in Diversity, bringing young people from different regions together to appreciate one another’s cultures, strengthen mutual understanding, and celebrate India’s shared identity while embracing its rich diversity of traditions and values. #EBSB_YuvaSangam #EduMinOfIndia #AICTE_INDIA #NIPER_SAS_NAGAR #EkBharatShreshthaBharat
