Imphal, December 07 2019:
Kangvai Battalion of 27 Sector Assam Rifles under aegis of HQIGAR (South) organised a National Integration tour from Manipur to Gaya-Kolkata in its quest to invest in a brighter and better future for children.
A total of 26 students (12 boys and 14 girls) and five teachers from the picturesque remote hill areas of Ningthiching and Moirang Khunou will embark on the tour which will continue till December 19, said PRO, IGAR.
The vision of the tour is to know the rich and proud facts about the country that are not included in the text book but are fascinating.
Visiting the historical places, interaction with mil cadets at Officer Training Academy Gaya, interaction with Army Commander, Eastern Command and General Officer Commanding, 3 Corps, exposure to world renowned educational universities, visiting to Multi National Company are some of the events that have been planned during the tour.
The enthusiastic team was flagged off at Moirang Khunou and proceeded towards the first leg of the tour to Officer Training Academy, Gaya.
As the children bid farewell, their parents expressed their gratitude to AR for having organising the tour and for providing this unique opportunity to the under privileged children from-rural areas having no previous exposure to such excursions.
