A group of 14 differently abled children from the remote area of
Banihal in Jammu and Kashmir called on the President Pranab Mukherjee at
Rashtrapati Bhavan on May 3, 2013 .
Speaking
on the occasion, the President stated that the initiative would help
instill in those children a feeling of integration with the rest of the
country. He advised the children that on returning back to Banihal, they
should share their experiences with the people there. Further, he said
that they should spread the message of peace, goodwill and of making
united efforts for the progress and development of the nation.
Addressing
the children, the President said that he would like this experience to
instill in them a strong desire to be a part of the national effort – to
strive for high goals, and contribute to the development of the
different regions of our country. He said that although the different
regions of the country may seem to be vastly separated by their
different cultures and traditions yet we are all bound by our shared
history and our common future.
The
children are in Delhi on an educational cum motivational tour as part of
Operation Sadbhavana organized by CI Force (Delta).
