Students embark on national integration tour
A fourteen day National Integration Tour is being organized by 4 Assam Rifles of HQ 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of IGAR(S) for the children of Chandel District, Manipur.
The Tour was Flagged Off on 16 Feb 2018 by Brig R K Singh, Deputy IG AR(S). The Tour consisting of 20 children (09 Girls and 11 Boys) alongwith 02 teachers from St Mary’s School & Govt high School Sajik Tampak, Standard English High School Sugnu, St Mary High School CCpur and MB Saichang UPS School of Shellon, and a team of 4 AR under command of Maj KVS Raghuram OIC NIT, will visit various tourist and historical places in Delhi and Agra as part of the Civic Action Project undertaken by 4 Assam Rifles.
The area of Sajik Tampak, Jhoupi and Shellon is a remote valley located in the southern portion of Chandel District. The places lack basic amenities required in day to day life and the area is highly isolated from hinterland India. Very few from the region had ventured beyond the valley itself.
The aim of this National Integration Tour is to further the wholesome integration of the far flung regions of the North East with mainstream India through familiarizing the selected young impressionable students from these areas with the technological advancements, political culture and historical appreciation of the country via this excursion to Delhi and Agra. Additional broadening of horizon and vision amongst the participating students is also being envisioned.
The members of the tour during their visit to Delhi, are also being given an opportunity to interact with the Honourable President of India, Shri Ramnath Kovind, Union Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh and Union Sports minister Col Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore (Retd).
