“The government school students who are performers and all-rounders in every aspects will be selected from class 10 and class 12 and will be given one trip on government expenditure from the coming academic year. We want to motivate the students and generate a spirit of competition among them to perform better,” said Dotasra.
“The travel would be inter-state. It will give them a chance to explore tourist places and educational hubs of the state they are visiting. It will be an educational and cultural tour for the students and a great learning opportunity,” said Dotasra.
