Univs to form clubs for cultural exchange

Coimbatore:10.11.2019

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked universities and higher education institutions to form ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ (EBSB) clubs to promote cultural exchange between the states.

UGC has paired up states and union territories into twos for the purpose. Higher education institutions in the states have been asked to conduct events to showcase the culture of each other.

A communication from UGC to the vice-chancellors of universities across the country dated November 6 said that to strengthen understanding and appreciation between cultures, ‘all higher education institutions and their affiliated colleges and institutes are requested to have EBSB clubs, whose aim would be to propagate language and culture of the paired state through various activities’.

In its guideline for the direction, UGC asked higher education institutions to establish the clubs and through them, conduct activities to promote cultural connect. “The idea is that each year one state should connect to any other state in India on reciprocal basis. The mutual exchange would promote knowledge of the culture, traditions and practices of different states,” the guideline said. TNN
