Instructions :
1. The ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat’ programme aims to promote greater mutual understanding between people of diverse cultures living in different States and UTs in India.

It is envisaged that schools affiliated to CBSE can play a pivotal role by organising programmes related to music, drama, cuisine, language, history, tourism of the state/UT paired with the state in which they are situated. Therefore schools may conduct these activities as per the following details:

2. Schools may plan for at least (two) EBSB Cultural Days during the course of the next one year (31st October 2017 to 30th October 2018). On the EBSB cultural day, the culture/traditions of the paired State (list of paired States may be seen at Annexure I) may get suitably showcased, so that the student can understand and assimilate the cultural oneness of India.

Schools may also club EBSB cultural Days with their already planned cultural events that they might organize on School Annual Day, Republic Day or Independence Day in order to keep their academic schedule uninterrupted.

3. The School-wise, date-wise action plan so prepared by each of the affiliated school may be submitted to CBSE before 18th October 2017 by e-mail at ebsb.cbse@gmail.com, so that same can be shared with the MHRD for launch on 31st October 2017.
