Students of Ladakh's remote Nubra Valley on heritage tour
Press Trust of India Jammu Students from Ladakh's remote Nubra Valley are now experiencing the country's rich heritage and development, thanks to the Army.
Fifteen students from Nubhra Valley are now on a tour to Chandigarh, New Delhi, Agra, Lucknow and Amritsar as part of an educational-cum-motivational tour, a defence spokesman said here today.
"The civilian population of Nubra Valley in Ladakh region needs to be integrated with the mainstream as it is virtually cut-off from rest of the country, both culturally and geographically. So, it was the Army's decision to take students of this region on a tour to get a feel of the country's heritage and development," he said.
The tour was flagged-off from Diskit in Nubra Valley on September 9 by Commander of the Siachen Brigade.
