Class 10 student ecstatic after Japan visit on exchange pgm

Making her family and neighbours proud, a class x girl student from remote Jirkatang hamlet in Andaman and Nicobar Islands has visited Japan as part of the International Student Exchange Programme organized by the Central Board of Secondary Education.
As hordes of villagers gathered at a roadside tea stall, the girl's proud father narrated how she got a rousing reception at the land of rising sun.
Meanwhile the beaming girl, Rajeshwari says, "Belonging to a poor family and getting an opportunity to visit Japan was an unbelievable dream. My school teachers particularly the Deputy Education Officer of Wimberlygunj played a major role to help me achieve the feat."

"I had left for New Delhi along with a teacher and joined 30 other students for the tour. After reaching Japan, we visited famous temples, universities, educational institutions and tourist spots in the country. Japan is a beautiful country with a shining example of cleanliness which our country should emulate," she said.
"I wish other students of these islands get such unique opportunity in future," Rajeshwari, whose exhibits at the Science exhibition last year bagged the first position at the state level and whose model, electronic missile was then selected for display at the national level at New Delhi, pointed out.

Rajeshwari was selected for the Study Exchange Programme for Japan among 30 other students.
