In order to enhance interaction and promote mutual understanding between people of different states/UTS including university students 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat' scheme launched by Hon'ble Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modi
This question tests awareness of a national integration scheme relevant to higher education and youth.
The 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat' (EBSB) scheme was launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in 2015 (announced on the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, 31 October). Its aim is to enhance interaction and promote mutual understanding between people of different states and Union Territories — including university and college students — by pairing states for cultural and educational exchange.
Why the other choices are wrong: Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Chandra Shekhar were former Prime Ministers whose tenures ended well before EBSB was conceived, so neither could have launched it. Manmohan Singh's tenure ended in 2014, a year before the 2015 launch, so he did not launch it either.
Takeaway: 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat' was launched by PM Narendra Modi in 2015 to promote inter-state cultural and educational exchange.
Correct answer: Shri Narendra Modi
