JAMMU: Observing that student exchange will connect the divine energy of Brahmaputra and Vitasta, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday hoped the Yuva Sangam Programme would provide a strong base for national composite identity and allow the young generation of both Assam and Jammu and Kashmir to learn and share values and experiences.
“Despite the distance of 2500 kilometres between Jammu and Guwahati, students will find here the same ancient spiritual and cultural richness for which Assam has been known since ages”, Sinha said while interacting with a group of 30 students from higher education institutions of Assam visiting the Union Territory under “Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat” initiative, adding that this is the true celebration of the diversity as well as unity of the Nation.
The Lt Governor extended his best wishes for their exploratory journey across UT to explore its culture, heritage, literature and cuisine and to strengthen the emotional bonds between the people of J&K and Assam.
During their one-week tour of Jammu Kashmir the students will visit various places including Raghunath temple, Suchetgarh Border, Chenab Rail Bridge, Historical Pahari architecture. The students were accompanied by Sh Manoj Singh Gaur, Director, IIT Jammu and their coordinators.
