National integration tour flagged off

21 Assam Rifles of 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) organised a National Integration Tour from Sajik Tampak to New Delhi under Assam Rifles Military Civic Action programme for 20 farmers of Sajik Tampak, Chandel district (Manipur) from 01 to 12 February 2016.
The tour has been organised to provide farmers with an opportunity to gain the knowledge about modern Indian agriculture system instead of the prevalent ‘Jhum’ cultivation which in addition to giving very low crop yields is also detrimental for the eco system. Towards achievement of the same, a special visit to PUSA Agricultural Institute New Delhi has been scheduled. In addition they will also visit historic places of the National capital like Red Fort, Rajghat, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan and Qutub Minar.
During the flag off ceremony, Commandant 21 Assam Rifles interacted with the farmers and thereafter flagged off the tour with suitable pomp and show which saw the National Integration Tour move off on a much awaited excursion and their first step to explore their motherland.
