The genesis of the programme lies in the vision of the Prime Minister of promoting the spirit of Ek Bharat. Shreshtha Bharat through initiatives which bring out and help rediscover the age-old links between people in different parts of the country. With this in mind, the Kashi Tamil Sangamam was organised earlier. The Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam takes forward this vision by celebrating the shared culture and heritage between Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
- Programme carries forward vision of PM to promote the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat
- It provides an opportunity for Saurashtrian Tamils to reconnect with their roots
Centuries ago, many people migrated to Tamil Nadu from the Saurashtra region. The Saurashtra Tamil Sangamam provided an opportunity for Saurashtrian Tamils to reconnect with their roots. The 10-day confluence saw more than 3,000 Saurashtrian Tamils come to Somnath on a special train.
The programme began on 17th April, with its closing ceremony now being held on 26th April at Somnath.
