Share Cuisines of Your Region: Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat

Introduction

The initiative ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ was announced by Hon'ble Prime Minister on 31st October, 2015 on the occasion of the 140th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Through this innovative measure, the knowledge of the culture, traditions and practices of different states & UTs will lead to an enhanced understanding and bonding between the states, thereby strengthening the unity and integrity of India.

Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat programme aims to enhance interaction & promote mutual understanding between people of different states/UTs through the concept of state/UT pairing.

India is a land with a rich diversity of cuisines. Each state, and even regions within states, have their own distinct style of food preparation. The cuisine of a region depends on its geography, climate, vegetation, nature of agricultural produce and also external influence the region has come under. Today, we find that some regional dishes have gained wide pan Indian popularity. However, there is a wealth of culinary treasure in different parts of our country still hidden from people in other parts of the country.

During the latest edition of Mann Ki Baat aired on 25th October 2020, Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi called upon people to share regional recipes of cuisines along with the names of the local ingredients. We invite citizens to come forward, share their regional recipes and contribute towards Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat.
