Imphal, November 24 2025:
A team of 22 students and 2 teachers from Churachandpur, accompanied by Assam Rifles personnel, reached Kolkata today for the final leg of their National Integration Tour under Operation Sadbhavana.
Flagged off on November 15, the tour has already taken the group through Delhi and Jaipur, offering a rich blend of cultural exposure and educational insight, said the IGAR (South) in a release.
The team travelled by Rajdhani Express, departing Delhi at 4:50 PM on November 23 and arriving at Howrah Junction at 10:00 AM the following morning.
Over the next four days, from November 24 to 27, the youth will explore Kolkata's historical and cultural landmarks, gaining a deeper understanding of the city's legacy and diversity.
On arrival, the group visited Victoria Memorial Hall, Indian Museum and New Market (Dharamtala), immersing themselves in the city's colonial architecture, artistic heritage and bustling street life.
The itinerary ahead includes engagements with educational and cultural institutions, designed to broaden their perspective on India's pluralistic identity.
Organised by Assam Rifles, the National Integration Tour is a flagship initiative aimed at fostering unity and cross-cultural understanding among youth from remote regions.
Operation Sadbhavana, under which the tour is conducted, reflects the Assam Rifles commitment to nurturing goodwill and harmony across communities, added the IGAR (S) .
