The delegation comprises 24 women and 24 men selected from across Keralam, accompanied by five faculty members and staff of IIT Palakkad

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Palakkad will lead a 48-member delegation from Kerala to Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi under the seventh phase of the Yuva Sangam programme. This initiative aims to promote national integration and cultural exchange among young people by visiting Uttar Pradesh to learn about its culture, traditions, history, and development initiatives.

The delegation, comprising 24 women and 24 men along with five faculty members and staff, will participate in five themes: tourism, traditions, development, people-to-people connections, and technology. IIT Palakkad is participating in Yuva Sangam for the second time, this time paired with BHU to facilitate the exchange between Kerala and Uttar Pradesh.

The flag-off ceremony will be held at IIT Palakkad on October 21, with the IIT director A. Seshadri Sekhar inaugurating the programme.
