The excursion rally was jointly organised by the Ajim Premji Foundation and New Life Foundation, Manipur, with support from the District Administration Bishnupur, Manipur Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MCPCR), Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Bishnupur and the District Child Protection Office (DCPO), Bishnupur.

Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Commissioner Pooja Elangbam lauded the initiative, stating that exposure tours for internally displaced children are highly beneficial.

She noted that such programmes, which include visits to natural environments and historical sites, help broaden children's knowledge and bring them joy, while also contributing positively to their mental wellbeing and learning capacity.
