NEW DELHI, Aug 21: A group of 20 students from Suru and Zanskar valley of Jammu and Kashmir today called on President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhavan, a Rashtrapati Bhawan spokesperson said today.
Addressing the students, the President said he would like to emphasise to them his sincere belief that although the different regions of the country may seem to be vastly separated by their different cultures, traditions, music and dance, art and literature, “yet we are all bound by our shared history and our common future”.
“It is our diversity that enriches our country’s heritage”, he said.
The President stated that he had full faith that participation in the tour would benefit the students immensely as it would help them in meeting different people who speak different languages in this country and would also enable them to know about the progress
being made by the nation in different spheres.
The children are in Delhi on an educational tour as part of Operation ‘Sadbhavana’ organised by eight Mountain Artillery Brigade Headquarters in J&K. (AGENCIES)
