During his address to the students, Shri Kiren Rijiju said that they should share the experience of their visit to National Capital and other historical places with their fellow students and families, when they return to their state after the conclusion of this tour. The Minister added that the students should take advantage of this opportunity and educate themselves by increasing their knowledge about these places.
Shri Rijiju said that the students should participate in the extra-curricular activities which will be helpful to them in having varied experiences. He also emphasised that the students should focus on understanding and acquiring knowledge while studying a particular subject. He added that these days the students have access to study material due to reach of internet, TV and newspapers, the advantage of which was not available earlier. He encouraged them to be well-equipped with knowledge and confidence to excel in this competitive world.
The Minister appreciated the Arunachal Scouts for organising this tour, which will not only educate these students, but will also help in boosting their confidence. He further said that our forces are not only working towards maintaining peace and security in the country, but also contributing to the society by giving exposure to the students from far flung areas by organising tours of this nature.
