Jammu | Jan 21
A batch of 75 students from various schools of the State who had visited different places in the country during the Wattan Ki Sair, a trip organised by J&K Police, called on Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad here this afternoon and shared their experiences with him.
The Director General of Police, Kuldeep Khoda, IGP, Armed Police, S. Owais, IGP, CID, K. Rajendra and other police officers were present on the occasion.
In all, 75 students with 6 teachers were taken on the trip during which they visited Delhi, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur and Ajmer where they saw historical places and interacted with people. They also had an interactive session with the Chief Minister of Delhi, Mrs. Sheila Dixit.
The students told Mr. Azad that the visit was highly informative and educative for them and they were impressed by the development and progress the country had made in different sectors. They especially spoke about highways, roads and flyovers which had impressed them a lot. They said that during their visit they saw historical places like Red Fort, Qutab Minar, Jama Masjid, Jantar Mantar, Raj Ghat, Vijay Ghat, Taj Mahal, shrine of Hazrat Mouinudin Chisti and other places. The students felt ecstatic about the visit and wanted more such trips to widen their horizon.
The conducting officer, Mr. Mohan Lal, S. P., said that the Wattan Ki Sair had started on January 12, 2008. He said the boys were taken on sight seeing in Delhi, Jaipur and Ajmer. He said they had interactive meeting with the Chief Minister of Delhi. They also viewed the movie, Welcome, in a theatre that turned out to be the first experience for most of the students and some teachers from Kashmir.
The Chief Minister, who hosted tea for the students, advised them to work hard and concentrate on their studies. He said since they had a feel of the progress other states in the country had made in different fields, they were in a better position now to convince their friends and fellow students about the need for Jammu & Kashmir to march ahead. He said there were elements in the State who try to mislead the children and youth and described them as the worst enemies of the people. He cautioned the students against falling into their trap.
Azad said the youth worked as the engine of change for any society and right thinking and hard work would help them become useful citizens and leaders of tomorrow’s J&K. He asked them to work for strengthening the bonds of amity among people of the State belonging to various religions and regions. |
