Named ‘Gyanodaya Express’, it aims to understand and appreciate the glory of each of the northeastern states with a focus on national integration.

Selected from different colleges on the basis of project proposals, the students would be divided into groups of 12-15 with a mentor or teacher. Each group will have at least one student from the northeast.
