Indian
Army has always been a great catalyst of national integration and has done
stupendous work by bringing together people from the remotest part of the
country to the main stream by organising various programmes. National
Integration Tour (NIT) is one such cornerstone under which the Army organizes
excursion for children living in far off places to move out of remote hinterland
and visit different parts of the country. As part of one such NIT organised by
Red Horn Division, 20 children from seven schools of Kokrajhar, Chirang and
Bongaigaon of Assam, met Lt Gen Gyan Bhushan, GOC-in-C South Western Command on
21 Sep 12 at Jaipur.
The
aim of the tour is to bring to light the rapid scale of development on which the
rest of the country has been traversing on and provide better understanding and
mutual respect for different cultures and societies while showcasing their own
thus integrating the people of Assam into the main stream of India. This tour
was flagged off on 16 Sep 12 from Assam and after visiting Delhi reached Jaipur
on 21 Sep 12. The children not only got the opportunity to get an insight into
the historical significance of the city but also the emergence of modernization
by visiting various upcoming city malls and shopping arcades.
The
children will move to Agra and Mathura in next phase of their tour.
