Telangana Governor urges students to become cultural bridges between States

Hyderabad, Oct 29 (UNI) Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla has urged students to use educational tours to understand the history, culture and traditions of different regions rather than limiting their visits to shopping and entertainment.
The Governor was interacting with 72 students from IIT Guwahati at Lok Bhavan Darbar Hall on Thursday as part of the ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat – Yuva Sangamam Phase-7’ initiative. He encouraged them to explore Telangana’s rich heritage, including the history of Charminar, the engineering marvel of Golconda Fort, local languages, cuisine and festivals.
He said the Yuva Sangamam programme, organised jointly by the union Ministry of Education and the University of Hyderabad from October 23 to 29, aimed to promote mutual understanding of India’s diverse cultures and strengthen national integration.
The Governor urged students to act as cultural bridges between Assam and Telangana by sharing the traditions and distinctive features of their respective regions. He said the initiative, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would help foster unity and strengthen cultural ties between different parts of the country.
The students shared their experiences of visiting Telangana and expressed appreciation for the State’s hospitality and Hyderabad’s technological development.
M Dana Kishore, Special Chief Secretary to the Governor, Komanduru Shashi Kiran, Joint Secretary, Dr. S. Arulmozhi, Nodal Officer from the University of Hyderabad, and other officials and faculty members attended the interaction, a Lok Bhavan communique said.
