In order to provide young students an idea about Indian democracy and its governance, like earlier years, Baleswar MP RK Jena this year too, has sponsored a week long exposure trip to Delhi for a group of selected meritorious students. These students would be visiting the Parliament, the President Bhawan and other important historical and religious sites of Delhi. A team of 75 members, including 17 students and their parents and a teacher of their school, moved Delhi on Sunday evening by train and they would be back in Baleswar on August 12. The students were selected from different schools across the Parliamentary constituency including Betnati and Badasahi, segment of Mayurbhanj. They were selected on certain benchmarks. Highest marks in the school in board exams and merit serial number in a written exams conducted by an educationist team engaged by MP Jena were considered for short-listing. At least one student from the CBSE and the ICSE schools are being picked up for the trip. Jena would be bearing their lodging, boarding and site seeing expanses, besides to and fro travel expenses. “ This visit is arranged mainly to encourage the young and talented students to extend an exposure visit. They would be visiting the Parliament House, the Rastrapati Bhawan and other places of national importance during their stay. It is a kind of a pleasurable educative and motivational trip for young mass,” said Jena.
“I feel very happy and consider myself fortunate to visit Delhi after clearing the selection criteria,” said Janhabi Jena, a student.
