Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha interacted with a group of 30 students from Higher education institutions of Assam visiting J&K under "Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat" initiative.
Interacting with the students, the Lt Governor extended his best wishes for their exploratory journey across UT to explore its culture, heritage, literature & cuisine and to strengthen the emotional bonds between the people of J&K and Assam.
The Lt Governor said that student exchange program, part of Yuva Sangam, will connect divine energy of Brahmaputra and Vitasta, provide a strong base for national composite identity and it will allow young generation of both Assam & J&K to learn & share values and experiences.
