The visit of the youths from Punjab to Maharashtra is being coordinated by IIT Bombay. The exposure tour is aimed at providing the youths an immersive, multidimensional experience in the areas of tourism, tradition, development, technology and people-to-people contact.

A group of 45 youths from Punjab visiting Maharashtra as part of ‘Yuva Sangam’ initiative started by Prime Minister interacted with Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais at Raj Bhavan Mumbai today (May 9, 2023). 

Welcoming the students to Maharashtra, the Governor said Maharashtra and Punjab have shared a long tradition of spiritual and cultural exchanges and close cooperation during the nation’s freedom movement. He said even though the two states are separated geographically by a distance of more than 1500 km, Maharashtra and Punjab are sister states. 

The Governor said many youths from Maharashtra and Punjab serve the nation by joining the armed forces. He called upon the youths from Punjab to acquire modern education and skills, stay away from addictions and serve the nation through their chosen fields. 

The Governor asked the youths to visit the country and appreciate the diversity of cuisine, language and culture of various states. He said in the present age of mobiles and laptops, people are moving away from their families. He urged the youth to visit different regions of the country as that will increase communication and they will learn a lot. 

The visit of the youths from Punjab to Maharashtra is being coordinated by IIT Bombay. The exposure tour is aimed at providing the youths an immersive, multidimensional experience in the areas of tourism, tradition, development, technology and people-to-people contact. 

Thirty-five youths from Maharashtra and 10 from Dadra Nagar Haveli, Daman-Diu are also travelling to NIT Jalandhar as part of the ‘Yuva Sangam’ programme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
