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.

I want to suggest idea to promote medical tourism from north indian states to south india. As we well known about the expetise of siddha system and expertise of ayurvedic practitioners of south india. To flourish this i am suggesting the idea of organizing medical camps from south indian people providing glimpses of south indian treatment procedures and medicines. Still in sub urban India people are not aware about richness of southern medical practises.

Let us use the television network for the purpose which is already spread across Bharat. There ought to be dedicated channels for this. One for music (vocal, instrumental, dance), another for crafts, further another for painting. Presentations by highly talented as well as novice could be tele-casted. Spare any commercials on these channels. Like Doordarshan, these got be mandatory and free of subscription. Special program for festive time would further boost. Awards and recognition be included.

Let there be a National portal(also a mobile App) which will facilitate home stay arrangement during leisure tour, travel for treatment, college admission, exams. The portal will enable people to showcase their offer of availability of accommodation facility. Offer of barter system meaning one family staying in West Bengal wants to visit Kerala and vice versa. This will help connect people to people will prove beneficial and economical for many needy family, students & job seekers.

In the modern era to connect states of a country cannot be a difficult task.The on-line trade can become more helpful for doing such activities.I have seen that to promote the product HIDE & SEEK company was offering a cash back of the full amount paid towards the product.And thus it can become easier to trade.On the same path encouragements can by given by the state governments to celebrate the mega events and to invite other states people to attend that event.

Great Initiative by our PM. Successful implementation of which will make the whole world realize the power and the true essence of UNITY IN DIVERSITY. For the successful implementation of the initiative more and more emphasis must be laid on making it a Public Movement rather than just a Gov Scheme. Moreover the hidden youth power should now be utilized to its full capacity to make this programme a huge success!!

सारे देश के राज्य (बाह्य व आंतरिक रूप से) राजभाषा हिन्दी के माध्यम और समानता के द्वारा एक-दूसरे से जुड़कर देश को अटूट शक्ति प्रदान करेंगे तो विश्व का सबसे बड़ा लोकतन्त्र विश्वभर में संगठित महाशक्ति के रूप में छा जाएगा। यही हमारी आत्मा में निहित होना चाहिए।
