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.

In my opinion there should be street plays, debates in public places which highlight the states diverse aspects, people to be given task to visit places in that state, come back and give their perspective to their locality which is moderated by the people of the state they visited. Most important is to encourage picking up of the bare minimum of the language of the states through fun interactions without feeling the stress and emphasis on using it with the visitors of the state.

अलग अलग राज्यों के छात्रों का मेलजोल एक प्रभावी माध्यम हो सकता हैं। पाठशाला या महाविद्याल द्वारा कुछ दिनों के लिए एक राज्य के छात्र दूसरे राज्य में जाकर वहाँ की संस्कृति को करीब से देख सकते हैं अपने राज्य के संस्कृति से दूसरों को अवगत करा सकते है।भारत का भविष्य यह युवा पिढी हैं।हमारी धरोहर इनके द्वारा ही संवर्धित और संक्रमित हो सकती है।इस के अंतर्गत छात्रों को कई प्रकल्प दिए जा सकते है।इससे इस प्रकल्प का हेतू केवल मजे करना न होकर प्रधानमंत्रिजी का इस योजना से अपेक्षित उद्देश भी पूरा

सबसे पहली बात तो यह कि "एक भारत श्रेष्ठ भारत" का आयोजन हिन्दी भाषा में भी होना चाहिए,ताकि इसमें और ज्यादा देशवासी भाग ले सके.जो मेल भेजी जाती है वो हिन्दी में भी हो. १-इस अभियान के अंतर्गत देश भर की स्कूलों में चित्रकला प्रतियोगिता करवानी चाहिए. २-सभी सरकारी कार्यालयों में इस अभियान के तहत टास्क दी जानी चाहिए. ३-इसका प्रचार प्रसार जन जन तक किया जाना भी ज़रूरी है,इसके लिए आइडिया समाचार पत्रों से भी मंगवाएं जा सकते हैं.

एक भारत श्रेष्ठ भारत के लिए हम सभी देशवासियो को मिलकर देश के बारे में सोचने की आवश्यकता है लेकिन आज देश में भ्रष्टाचार के कारन यह संभव नहीं हो रहा है आज हम सिर्फ अपने बारे में सोचते है देश के बारे में नहीं। आज देश में जातिवाद धर्म अमीर गरिब का भेदभाव होने के कारन हम एक नहीं हो रहे है एक राज्य के लोग दूसरे राज्ये के लोगो से भेदभाव की दृष्टी रखते है। देश की सरकार राज्य की सरकार को इस तरह से काम करना होगा की यह भेदभाव की भावना दूर हो सके। सरकार और नागरिको को राज्य से बढ़कर देश बारे में सोचना होगा

We can improve relations between states by implementing an exchange program. Just like Universities exchange students, various state governments should promote job exchange programs but not in capitol cities or highly populated cities. Along with job exchange programs, state governments should promote industries and corporates exchange programs where industries having 1-2 locations within a state should get an opportunity to start new location in another state but not in highly urbanized areas.

We believe in unity in diversity. Each state has a different cultural heritage. And within State, we have region wise culture. Each state have their own tribes which again have their own cultural. Hence, we need to work at grass root levels so that, we can bring together all these people on one platform level in a state then we need to focus on country level. The other way is, let see, if all these tribes who live in isolated places can be united with tribes living in other states.
