Union MoS Dr Jitendra Singh hosted a get-together for a group of students from Udhampur and Reasi districts of J&K, currently on a visit to Delhi. He spent nearly two hours in an informal interaction with these students who were mostly in the age group of 16 to 20 years and were mostly studying in different government schools or government degree colleges.
The students were highly excited to be face to face with Dr Jitendra Singh who also happens to be the elected Member of Parliament from their area. Many of them thanked the Minister for some of the new projects sanctioned for Udhampur and made a particular mention of the Rs 170 crore Devika river cleaning project under National River Conservation Plan (NRCP). Some of the students also demanded his support for improving sports facilities in these districts.
The youngsters rejoiced themselves by clicking selfies with Dr Jitendra Singh who, in a lively interaction, answered a wide range of questions from the students and also responded by offering his views on a number of current topics as well as elaborating several youth-centric initiatives taken by the Modi Government.
Arrangements were made for the students, most of whom were visiting Delhi for the first time, to visit the museum of Rashtrapati Bhavan which was a rare and unique experience for them at this tender age. In addition, they went for sightseeing to historic destinations like Red Fort and Qutab Minar. Dr Jitendra Singh suggested that a visit could also be arranged for them during the parliament session so that the can witness the proceedings.
