Bhasha Sangam – Celebrating the Linguistic Diversity of India.
Bhasha Sangam is an initiative of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Dept. of School Education and Literacy, Govt. of India under ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat programme’ meant to provide multilingual exposure to students in Indian languages listed in Schedule VIII of the Constitution of India. Through this programme we provide a simple but effective learning opportunity to our children to enhance linguistic tolerance and respect, and promote national integration.

The cultural and linguistic diversity of our country was showcased through a display of fashion show by the students. The students embellished the ramp as they walked with their colourful and ornate costumes. The students also beautified the programme by saying a few sentences in their mother tongue.
In this way the students were acquainted with the diverse languages of our country. It generated a feeling of awe and respect in the minds of the students as the different languages were revealed to them, some of which they were unfamiliar with.
