Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat (EBSB) program of the Government of India (GoI) aims at enhancing interaction and promoting mutual understanding between people of different states/UTs through the concept of state/UT pairing.

1. To CELEBRATE the Unity in Diversity of our Nation and to maintain and strengthen the fabric of traditionally existing emotional bonds between the people of our country
2. To PROMOTE the spirit of national integration through a deep and structured engagement between all Indian States and Union Territories through a year-long planned engagement between States
3. To SHOWCASE the rich heritage and culture, customs and traditions of either State for enabling people to understand and appreciate the diversity that is India, thus fostering a sense of common identity
