A group of girl students from Assam called on the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan today (October 25, 2013).
Speaking on the occasion, the President appreciated the efforts of the Army in organizing this programme which would strengthen the bonds of the students, in their formative years, with the diverse culture of India. The Sadbhavana Tour would enable these students to understand India’s rich history and also India’s progress and development.
He stated that in a vast country like India there may be differences in languages, food habits, way of life, etc. but all the people shared the common bond of belonging to a great country, India.
The students are in Delhi as part of the National Integration cum Education/Motivational Tour to Delhi, Agra and Amritsar organized by 2 DOGRA under Operation Sadbhavana. The girl students are from the militancy affected remote area of Batasipur, District Sonitpur, Assam.
