Govt school students to give performances in front of soldiers

Sixty students from different Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas will be visiting Akhnoor and Attari borders and present cultural performances in front of armed personnel.
As per an official statement here, the programme - 'Seema Darshan' - is an initiative taken up by the HRD Ministry in collaboration with the Home and Defence Ministries.
"Under the programme, child artists would demonstrate to the jawans how they are preserving and taking forward the cultural legacy of the country for which the armed forces are constantly on the vigil and also protecting and guarding its borders," the statement said.
The objective of the programme, being organised for five days starting from January 22, is to provide the students with a first-hand experience of the prevailing security environment in the border areas and also to foster patriotism and nationalism, the statement said.

Only Class XI students from the schools have been included in this group. The students for the groups have been selected from KVs and NVs across all the states of India including Delhi, it said.
