POONCH, July 1: In consonance with the ‘Sadbhavana’ efforts a ‘National Integration tour’ for students of village Jhallas, is being organized to Aurangabad, Nanded and Pune from  July 1 to  10, 2013.
The tour is being conducted by Nangi Tekri Battalion under the aegis of Krishna Ghati Brigade and Ace Spades Division.  The tour was flagged off by Commander, Krishna Ghati Brigade at Jhallas.  A number of civilian dignitaries and locals had been cordially invited at the occasion.  The Commander during an interaction with the participants asked them to spread the message of peace and harmony to the places they will visit.  The people expressed their gratitude to the Army for giving an opportunity to their children to see other parts of the country which otherwise may not have been possible for them.
The tour will provide these 23 children an exposure to the other parts of our great country including educational prospects, economic prosperity, religious diversity and quality of life.  The tour will also instill a sense of awareness and national integration amongst the children.  The tour will encompass visit to Ajanta & Ellora Caves, Baba Sahib Ambedkar University, Salim Ali Lake & Bird Sanctuary, Bajaj Auto Industries, Skoda Factory, Bibi Ka Makbara and Kali Masjid in Aurangabad.
