The Yuva Sangam's main objective is to expose young people from North Eastern States—students and off-campus youth—to other states and vice versa.
Union Minister of Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday launched the Yuva Sangam portal. The Yuva Sangam will focus on conducting exposure tours of the youth comprising of students & off-campus youngsters from North Eastern States to other states & vice versa.
It will provide an immersive, multidimensional experience of various facets-under four broad areas of Paryatan (Tourism), Parampara (Traditions), Pragati (Development) and Paraspar Sampark (People-to-people connect).
