New Delhi: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju acknowledged and praised the Indian Army's initiative to bring children from Tawang to Delhi as part of a National Integration program. Speaking on the occasion, Rijiju highlighted the importance of such programs in providing young people from border areas with exposure to broader opportunities and experiences outside their hometowns.

Rijiju expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the Army, saying, “Today, the Indian Army has brought a few children from Tawang. This tour, part of the Army’s National Integration initiative, is a wonderful opportunity for them to see the capital and experience life beyond their borders. I am grateful to the Indian Army for making this possible.”

The minister emphasized that these children are from his home state, Arunachal Pradesh, adding a personal note to his gratitude. “I know from which village they have come, and it brings me great pride to see them here,” Rijiju said. “This exposure trip not only builds a connection between these children and the rest of the country but also instills in them a sense of belonging and pride in being part of India.”

The National Integration tours are organized by the Indian Army to bridge cultural divides and foster unity by giving young people from remote and border regions an understanding of the nation’s diversity and its democratic institutions. By visiting significant landmarks and engaging with national leaders, these children gain insights into the larger world beyond their hometowns.

Rijiju concluded by congratulating the young participants and reiterated his appreciation for the Indian Army’s continued efforts in building these bridges of unity and understanding across the country.
