The Tribal Youth Exchange Programme is organized by Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan with support from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, to facilitate the development of tribal youth.

Objectives:
  • Cultural Learning: Offer tribal youth from 30 selected districts across seven states the opportunity to travel to ten different regions in the country. This allows them to learn about the cultural values, languages, and lifestyles of the people, thereby highlighting the socio-economic and cultural unity in diversity within the nation.
  • Exposure to Advancements: Expose tribal youth to the technological and industrial progress in various states, with an emphasis on different developmental activities, skill development, educational opportunities, and employment prospects available in those regions.
  • Preservation of Heritage: Sensitize tribal youth to their rich traditional and cultural heritage, fostering an understanding of its importance for future generations.
  • Peer Interaction: Help tribal youth establish emotional connections with their peers from other parts of the country, ultimately boosting their self-esteem.
  • Interactions: Provide participants with opportunities to interact with esteemed individuals like the President of India, Prime Minister, Chief Minister, Governor, and other VIPs, as well as local communities, Panchayati Raj Institutions, and youth affiliated with NYKS Youth Clubs. These interactions are aimed at enhancing the understanding of development issues and seeking guidance for their active involvement in the development process.
  • Personality Development: Develop the personalities of tribal youth by enhancing their understanding of Ten Core Life Skills, identifying their skill development-oriented training needs, and helping them realize their legitimate career aspirations through Employable Skills offered by government schemes.
  • Exposure to Industry: Provide exposure to industry and skill development programs to facilitate employment opportunities for tribal youth.
