Mizoram students tour Bangalore city
Bangalore, Jan 30, 2010: As part of the ‘Sadbhavana tour,’ students from Mizoram under the aegis of the Mizoram Range Assam Rifles organised by 4 Assam Rifles met Karnataka governor HR Bharadwaj on Thursday.
Appreciating the objective of the tour, Bharadwaj said, “Tours like this should be encouraged to eliminate the feeling of isolation that the people from north-eastern states sometimes experience.” School children aged between 14-18 years from all districts of Mizoram interacted with the governor.
They will be in the city till January 30.
The students were thrilled with the experience, as many of them have stepped out of Mizoram for the first time. The students will be travelling to Thiruvananthapuram and Chennai.
The tour was organised in an effort to enhance awareness about different parts of the country and thereby reinforce national integration.
One of the officers accompanying the students said, “The tour will give exposure to the youngsters regarding our country’s diverse culture, scientific and technological advancement and will incorporate the feeling of oneness and belonging in them.”
