awareness about the distinctive features of our country and
culture.
Before the Bharat Ko
Jano project was taken at the national level, this had
successfully been implemented U.P. West Prant for a number
of years. In the year 2000, it was decided to conduct this
programme on an experimental basis in all the eight
Prants of U.P. state. Encouraged by its success, it was
