India has resumed the Bangladesh Delegation Programme 2022 after interruptions of two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud and Indian High Commissioner Vikram Kumar Doraiswami jointly launched the programme at the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, reports BSS.

This International Youth Exchange Programme is part of an MoU signed between the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of the Republic of India and the Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on Cooperation in Youth Matters.

Hundred young leaders from various walks of life will be selected from Bangladesh, for a hosted visit to India to travel to economic, technological, industrial, cultural and historical places of interest.

An open and inclusive selection process will be conducted by the High Commission of India through interviews across all eight Divisions of Bangladesh, to ensure diversity and selection of the best talent from across various segments of the society.

Distinguished alumni of previous programmes will be associated with the selection process
