New Delhi, May 28 (). Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday spoke to two students, Gyamar Nyokum from Arunachal Pradesh and Vishakha Singh from Bihar, during his Mann Ki Baat radio talk show.
The students had participated in the Yuva Sangam initiative, which aimed to introduce the people of the two states to each other’s cultures.
Nyokum, a first-year student at NIT (Arunachal), told PM Modi that he came to know about Yuva Sangam through his institute and searched the internet about it. He traveled to Rajasthan through Yuva Sangam and discovered the rich culture of the state.
Nyokum told PM Modi, I had gone to a place outside Arunachal Pradesh for the first time. I learned about the vibrant culture of Rajasthan, which I had never known before. In response, Modi told Gyamer that many soldiers posted on the Arunachal Pradesh border were from Rajasthan and suggested that Gyamer would be happy when he met them.
PM Modi then requested Nyokum to write a blog about his trip, describing how he learned about new cultures and experienced the heritage of Rajasthan.
After Nyokum, PM Modi spoke to Vishakha Singh from Sasaram village in Bihar. She is currently studying Computer Science and is in the second year of the program. Singh told PM Modi that he learned about the Yuva Sangam through his college WhatsApp group and decided to participate in it.
When PM Modi asked Vishakha Singh whether she learned about new cultures and tasted different foods, given that the food culture of Bihar and Tamil Nadu is quite different. Singh replied that everything was wonderful. He shared, I learned how to adapt and embrace a new culture. I was sent to Tamil Nadu, where I visited ISRO and met the Governor of Tamil Nadu. I also tried new dishes, made new friends and had meaningful conversations.
PM Modi also requested Vishakha to write a blog, sharing her experiences and telling others about the way she learned about the new culture.
