During the Rashtriya Ekta Divas address on 31st October, on the occasion of birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi announced that the Government of India proposes to launch a new initiative called ‘EK Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’. The programme aims to give a boost to the existing cultural connect between different parts of the country and enhance interaction between people living in different states.

Conceptually, the idea is that each year one state should connect to any other state in India on a reciprocal basis. As the Prime Minister himself explained through an example in his speech, "Haryana as a state can decide to connect with Tamil Nadu for the year 2016 and the activities that Haryana state can undertake may include popularizing the rich heritage of Tamil Nadu in Haryana through song festivals, book festivals, literary events, food festivals, tours of people of Haryana to Tamil Nadu and vice versa. In the year 2017, Haryana would connect to any other state and in 2018 to another state and so on".

The knowledge of the culture, traditions and practices of different states will lead to an enhanced understanding and bonding between each other thereby strengthening the unity and and integrity of India. The full address of the portion of the Prime Minister's speech, where he announced the scheme, can be accessed here.

We believe that such an initiative to connect people-to-people should be implemented with inputs from the citizens of India.

With this view, MyGov introduces the ‘EK Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ contest. Citizens are invited to submit their ideas and suggestions on how the programme should be structured so as to encapsulate its true spirit in all its various dimensions and capture the diversity that characterises India.

While the citizens are free to submit their ideas in kernel format, they can also expand in detail on the themes and sub-themes. Citizens may consider the following general themes on which to base their ideas, while submitting their entries. These themes are only indicative and participants are free to include any other points they deem appropriate.

1. Identifying role of central government and state governments in implementing the programme
2. Identifying the manner in which the governments, civil society and private sector can work together.
3. Specifying the Use of modern communication tools, including social media.
4. Documentation of success stories.
5. Making 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' a people's movement rather than a government programme.

Participants are encouraged to submit original and innovative ideas. An idea, merely rich in detail but lacking originality, would not score more than a very innovative idea explained briefly. However, if a very innovative idea is also explained in detail, it will naturally score higher.

Participants may submit their entries as attached PDF documents while providing a summary of their proposals in the comment section.

The winners of the contest will be awarded a certificate by the Prime Minister, along with cash prizes as follows:

1. First Prize - Rs. 100,000/-
2. Second Prize - Rs. 75,000/-
3. Third Prize - Rs. 50,000/-

The last date for submission is 25th December, 2015.

आदरणीय श्रीमान, हम भारत के लोग भारत की सरकार के साथ मिल कर देश को किस प्रकार से हराभरा और शुद्द पर्यावरण युक्त कैसे बना सकते हैं, इसके लिए एक सुझाव है,
क्या पेड़ लगाने के लिए हम राजमार्गो को काम में ले सकते हैं? राजमार्गो के दोनों तरफ और डिवाइडर पर पेड़ लगा सकते हैं. इस से देश के राजमार्ग छायादार होंगे, राजमार्गो के वायु प्रदुषण को कम किया जा सकेगा.
वर्मान में देश में कुल 92,851.05 km National Highways है और 154,522 km State Highways हैं, तो सोचिये इन मार्गो पर कितने पेड़ लग सकते हैं.

1. we can also try to educate the people on the history of each state.For eg: who all ruled the states?who was their famous king, indvidual dynasties capital and other details.
2. Since India is a multi-cultural, multi-linguistic country, why not teach Kannada to Bengalis and vice versa. 3. Also to show case the handicrafts of each state4.share the best practises in education/cultural/handicrafts/ with each other
