The Ministry of Home Affairs has been running the Tribal Youth Exchange Programme (TYEP) for the last 15 years. The programme is being run through Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
Under this programme, young men and women of the tribal communities from the interior areas most affected by left-wing extremism are taken to major cities and metropolitan areas across the country.
