Anantnag, 17 Jul 2021. In order to provide exposure to adventure activities and natural beauty to the budding school children of South Kashmir, Indian Army conducted a Capacity Building Tour for the students of Anantnag to
Jawahar Institute of Mountaineering and Winter Sports, Pahalgam. A total of 50 students from seven different schools took part in the event. This tour was aimed at providing an opportunity to the students of the area to visit places of interest for broader understanding of the facilities available to them in nearby locations.
The monotony of the school life and extended COVID -19 lockdown in the region since Mar 2020 has increased boredom. The tour was planned to give a refreshing break and generate awareness by discussing on contemporary issues and conduct of various games. This Capacity Building Tour would definitely enrich students’ knowledge, wisdom and character. The motivational tour has helped in developing better cooperation among the students.
Interaction with students post completion of the tour revealed that such events provide platform to broaden their horizon. All laid down COVID protocols were followed during the conduct of the event.
