The programme will bring around 1,400 participants from Tamil Nadu to Varanasi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya in seven groups. Each group is expected to undertake an eight-day journey, including travel and structured cultural and academic activities.

Eligible groups include students, teachers, writers and media professionals, people in agriculture and allied sectors, professionals and artisans, women, and spiritual leaders.
The ministry said a separate student-engagement initiative would involve 1,000 higher education institutions. IIT Madras, Banaras Hindu University and the Central Institute of Classical Tamil are among the collaborating institutions. The registration launch is a preparatory step; the main gathering takes place next month.
