#YuvaSangam2026 #Day3 (June 6, 2026): Connecting with Nature, Heritage, and Leadership: Day-3 of the visit by the Andhra Pradesh delegation reflected the themes of #Paryavaran (Environment), #Parampara (Traditions) and #ParasparSampark (People-to-People Connect)! The day began with a Tree Walk and Tree Plantation drive at #IISERPune campus to appreciate #biodiversity and environmental #sustainability. Delegates explored the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra through a visit to the iconic #ShaniwarWada and a #HeritageWalk through the historic streets of the Pune City. A special language session by Prof. Sonal Kulkarni-Joshi of Deccan College provided an engaging introduction to Maharashtra’s linguistic heritage. This was followed by enriching interactions with Honourable Ministers Shri Chandrakant Dada Patil and Smt. Madhuri Tai Misal. Shri Patil welcomed the delegates to experience the state of Maharashtra and appreciate both the shared and unique aspects of the two states. Smt Misal shared her perspectives on urban development and encouraged delegates to aim high while remaining connected to their roots. The day concluded with a special Maharashtrian dinner, giving delegates an opportunity to experience the state's rich culinary traditions while strengthening bonds of friendship and cultural exchange. @EduMinOfIndia @EBSB_Edumin @EBSB_YuvaSangam @AICTE_INDIA #EkBharatShreshthaBharat #AndhraPradesh #Maharashtra #YouthExchange #CulturalConnect

#YuvaSangam #Day2: The Andhra Pradesh delegation participating in Yuva Sangam-Phase 6, hosted by IISER Pune, had an enriching second day (June 5, 2026) immersed in the cultural, spiritual, and rural fabric of Maharashtra. The day began with a visit to the historic Khandoba Mandir in Jejuri followed by interactions with residents of Adachiwadi village, that has come to be known as Adarsh Gaon (Model Village). Through interactions with the Sarpanch, Gram Panchayat members, and villagers, participants gained valuable insights into #Governance, development initiatives, and community-led #transformation. Activities of the day were designed to meet these goals of the #YuvaSangam programme #Paryatan (tourism), #Pragati (development), and #Parasparsampark #yuvasangam2026 #EkBharatShreshthaBharat #YuvaSangam #CulturalExchange @EBSB_Edumin @EduMinOfIndia @AICTE_INDIA @iit_tirupati
