EDUCATIONAL AND MOTIVATIONAL TOUR FOR CHILDREN OF EASTERN LADAKH ORGANISED BY THE TRISHUL DIVISION
1. Under the aegis of Operation Sadbhavana, the Trishul Division organised an Educational and Motivational Tour to Delhi and Agra for 16 students of the Army Goodwill School, Karu (Ladakh). The tour was flagged off on 28 Feb 2011 by the Honorable Chief Executive Councillor (CEC) of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Shri Rigzin Spalbar.
2. In its continuous effort to integrate Eastern Ladakh into the national mainstream, the Trishul Division today initiated yet another programme. 16 School children studying in the Army Goodwill School at Karu alongwith two local teachers were sponsored on an educational and motivation tour to Delhi and Agra.
3. All cost including airfare from Leh to Delhi and back and transport at Delhi and Agra was borne by the Division.
4. It is expected that the trip would go a long way in widening the vision of the children who otherwise wouldn’t have had a chance like this to visit some of the most historically important places of the country.
5. The Flagging Off Ceremony was attended by a number of civilian dignitaries of the region like the local LAHDC Councillor, SDM Nyoma, Chief Education Officer of Ladakh District among others. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Rigzin Spalbar, CEC, LAHDC, wished the touring group all the best for the journey and asked the children to enjoy the wonders of the country. He stressed on the intimate relationship shared between the Indian Army and the people of Ladakh and expressed his confidence that this bond would pnly grow deeper with time. He appreciated the efforts of the Trishul Division for providing such opportunities to the local populace.
