The Ministry of Culture had mooted a project proposal titled Cultural Heritage Youth Leadership Programme (CHYP)".
This scheme envisaged enriching awareness of Indian culture and heritage amongst the youth in order to promote, understand and develop fondness for Indias rich cultural heritage, with a view to develop appropriate leadership qualities amongst youth. The focus of the programme was to be on less privileged children residing in backward areas by interacting with them in vernacular languages for their better understanding.
However, while initially, the scheme was being run on its own, the Ministry is reworking this proposal and integrating this with Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat (EBSB)".
This information was given by Minister of State for Culture and Tourism (Independent Charge) Dr. Mahesh Sharma in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.
