Srinagar, Dec 9: A group of Kashmiri girls who are on a tour organized by army met country’s president Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtripati Bhawan.
A defence spokesman said the President extended his warm greetings and blessing to the children. “Snober Khan, a participant student, also presented a memento to the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces on behalf of Chinar Corps,” said the spokesman.
He said the girls had the unique opportunity of having a tour of the Parliament where they even attended the Lok Sabha session for some time. “Interacting with the children, Member of Parliament Poonamben Hematbhai Maadam exhorted them to relentlessly pursue their dreams and strive for excellence in every sphere. She also complimented the Army for such an initiative which was bound to open avenues for these children,” the spokesman said.
He said the students were also enthralled with their visit to the National Museum in Delhi which is a repository of the country’s historical and cultural heritage. “The section of Mughal era jewellery was understandably the major attraction for these young souls which fully reflected in their sparking eyes. Captivated by the experience so far, the girls are confident that this tour will be a life changer for them,” the defence spokesman added.
