During this tour children will also get a chance to meet the Governor and Chief Minister of Gujarat,” mentions the statement.
The aim of organizing the tour is to give exposure to the children hailing from the border areas about the rich heritage, culture and grandeur of our nation and help them to understand the unity in diversity of India, it said.Inspector General, BSF Jammu, D K Boora flagged off the ‘Bharat Darshan’ tour.
