The educational cum motivational tour for girls organized by Victor Force ended today with an impressive Flagging In Ceremony at HQ 1 Sector RR located at Anantnag. The ceremony was presided over by Major General Gurdeep Singh, General Officer Commanding Victor Force. Brigadier JVSNV Prasad, Commander 1 Sector RR was also present during the occasion.
The tour was exclusively for girl students of Pampore and Tral Tehsil. A total of 33 students accompanied by five lady teachers had gone on the tour conducted by 50 Rashtriya Rifles battalion. The tour was flagged off on 19 November 2011 from Shar and after visiting Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh and Shimla finally returned on 29 November 2011.
The tour was unique in that after a very long time an all-girls tour was organized by the Army. The participants of the tour were girls who had volunteered for experiencing an unique exposure to the other regions of the country and in the views of the participants, the aim of the tour was achieved and the girls thoroughly enjoyed the visit to different places in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
The army has always strived to contribute meaningfully to the society of Kashmir and organization of such educational and motivational tours will be a further step in getting closer to the local awam.
