During their stay in India, they will see prominent cultural and historical sites apart from visiting educational, business, IT and technological institutions in what is billed as an “eye-opener tour”.
They will also meet Indian President Pranab Mukherjee during their weeklong tour that includes the visit of Agra, Jaipur and Kolkata, apart from New Delhi.
This would be the fourth such visit of Bangladesh youth delegation to India in as many years.
The Indian High Commission in Dhaka began the initiative in 2012 to encourage youth exchanges between the two neighbours.
Doctors, engineers, students, artist and journalists aged between 22 to 32 years dominate the group. It would be the first overseas visit for most of them.
Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pankaj Saran addressed them on Saturday at a flagging off ceremony at the Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre in Gulshan.
First Bangladeshi mountaineer to scale Mount Everest Musa Ibrahim, singer Partha Barua, and actress Bidya Sinha Mim also spoke on the occasion.
