Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaOctober 2, 2023

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) is thrilled to announce its upcoming ‘Purvottar Adhyayan Yatra’ in November. This exciting decision was made during the All India Office Bearers meet held on October 1st and 2nd in Shillong, Meghalaya.

The ‘Purvottar Adhyayan Yatra’ by ABVP aims to offer 75 students from various states across India a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich traditions, diverse cultures, and natural wonders of North-East India. During this enlightening journey, participants will have the chance to visit different tribes, explore local traditions, and discover historical sites scattered throughout the picturesque landscapes of North-East India.

Drawing inspiration from the immensely successful Inter-State Student Life Darshan (SEIL) Yatra, initiated by ABVP in 1966 and organized annually, this initiative fosters unity and understanding among students by enabling them to appreciate the incredible diversity that defines India. The SEIL Yatra has played a pivotal role in providing students from different tribes of North-East India the opportunity to visit various states across the country. Through this experience, they better understand the nation’s cultural unity, linguistic diversity, and educational environment.

Yagyawalkya Shukla, the National General Secretary of ABVP, commented on the significance of this endeavour. He stated, “The states of North-East India are rapidly emerging as prominent educational hubs, marking a positive development in the country’s education sector. Not only are these states rich in natural beauty, but they are also progressing on various fronts. This is indeed a promising sign for the entire nation.”

Furthermore, Shukla emphasized the growing number of students from North-East India venturing to different parts of the country for educational pursuits and other purposes. He stressed the importance of efforts to help students understand the invaluable heritage of North-East India, ultimately fostering a sense of unity amid diversity.
