What is the News?
The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in collaboration with the Ministry of Home Affairs organised the 14th Tribal Youth Exchange Programme for the development of Tribal Youth.
What is the Tribal Youth Exchange Programme?
Organized by: Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan(NYKS) with the support of the Ministry of Home Affairs since 2006.
Aim: 1) To sensitize Tribal Youth to the Rich Cultural Heritage of India and to enable them to appreciate the concept of unity in diversity, expose them to development activities and industrial advancement and 2) To help the tribal youth to develop emotional linkages with their peer groups in other parts of the country and enhance their self-esteem.
Significance: The tribes who are residing in the remote corners of the nation do not have access to first-hand information about what is happening elsewhere in the country. With more interaction of students and youth communities with their peer groups in other parts of the country, the gap can be bridged. Tribal youth exchange programmes are designed to facilitate such interactions.
