Earlier interacting with General Rawat, the children were upbeat about coming face to face with a personality they have seen only on electronic media. The children were immediately put at ease by the General with his informal interaction.
During the interaction, the General listened to the views of the children and shared his vision about peace and development in Manipur. The children expressed their desire for quality education and job awareness.
This singular interaction with the two towering personalities of the nation will have a lasting effect on these young minds. They will go back as ambassadors to motivate others to be part of overall development and nation building.
