Army today sent a group of 23 girl students of Gool area of district Ramban in Jammu and Kashmir on a 10-day long educational-cum-motivational tour to Agra and Kota.
The tour organised as part of "Operation Sadbhavana" was flagged off by the Commanding Officer of Rashtriya Rifles from Gool today, a defence spokesman said.
The girl students, accompanied by two teachers, will visit the two cities during their tour, he said.
The aim of the tour is to showcase the development of the country to the youth from the remote and far flung areas, and provide them with an opportunity to visit important places of interest and to interact with the people of those regions, thereby widening their horizon.
During the tour, they will also get an opportunity to interact with senior Army officers and civil dignitaries, the spokesman added.
