In
the series of projects being launched by the 'Gajraj' Corps at Tezpur
under operation Samaritan, 35 enthusiastic children of Morigaon
district were taken on an excursion to Guwahati. The event was organised
and coordinated by Army Camp, Jagi Road of 2 Mountain Division with the
active assistance of civil administration.
The event was a success as was
evident from the interaction with the participants on their return from
the excursion. These children ranging from 10 to 15 years were from High
Schools of Nelli, Boghra and Mayang. Their itinerary included a visit to
Planetorium and Sankardeva Kalakshetra.
Mrs

Jagi Road. At the time of flagging-off ceremony, the students displayed
their talent in the form of some entertaining songs and dances. The Army

DC hailed the efforts of the Army in the development of the district. She
complimented students
on their performance and urged them to work hard for their academic
pursuits.
