On Monday, the 15th Tribal Youth Exchange Program was organised by Nehru Yuva Kendra in collaboration with the Central Government Youth Program and Sports Ministry and Home Ministry at Raj Bhavan.
Governor Kalraj Mishra said that tribals are a nature-worshiping society. There is a need to learn from their nature-nurturing traditions. He said,
“The Tribal Youth Exchange Program is an opportunity to understand India, the land of unity in diversity and to be exposed to the concept of ‘Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat’.”
Governor Shri Kalraj Mishra, while addressing the program said that only through such events do the youth get a chance to come face to face with the cultural and historical heritage of the country.
Mishra said that tribal areas have their specific traditions for the conservation of water, forest and land. He said that the work of preserving these traditions should be done under the Tribal Youth Exchange Programme. Along with the rights granted by the Constitution, he also called upon the youth to always remain alert in performing their duties.
Earlier, tribal youth from Garh Chiroli, Maharashtra, Malkangiri in Orissa and Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh gave beautiful dance and music presentations of the tribal areas.
State Director of Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan, Shri Mahendra Singh Sisodia gave information about the objectives and activities of organizing the camp under the Tribal Youth Exchange Programme.
