Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Tuesday interacted with 'Children of the State' of Child Care Institutions of Sundernagar, Talyar, Bharnal and Dehar in Mandi district.

According to the Chief Minister's Office, the children are on an educational and experiential tour to Chandigarh and Jaipur under the Mukhyamantri Sukh-Aashray Yojana.

During a video conference, the Chief Minister encouraged the children to make the most of this opportunity. He said such tours offer valuable exposure and help students understand various subjects in a practical, engaging way.

CM Sukhu asked whether they had ever travelled by air, and the children excitedly shared that it was their first flight.

He also enquired about their accommodation and food arrangements and advised them to remain focused on their studies, especially in view of their upcoming examinations.

He said the state government was committed to improving these children's lives and assured them of full care and support through age 27. "A total of 31 children from the four Child Care Institutions are participating in the tour," he added.

The Chief Minister said that the Mukhyamantri Sukh-Aashray Yojana is not limited to providing protection; it aims to create opportunities that ensure a secure and dignified future for orphaned children.

The objective of the tour is to introduce children to national integration, cultural heritage, modern infrastructure, and educational institutions, thereby supporting their holistic development.

Such educational and experiential visits, he added, play a vital role in building self-confidence, curiosity, social awareness and a deeper understanding of the country.

He directed the relevant officers to ensure there is no lapse in the children's safety, comfort, and well-being during the tour.

Good step by CM Sukhu. These practical tours to Chandigarh and Jaipur will definitely boost the kids' confidence and broaden their horizons. Hope the support till age 27 is implemented effectively and not just on paper. The real test is in sustained execution.

While the intent is excellent, I hope the government is equally focused on the quality of education and counselling within these Child Care Institutions year-round. One tour is great, but consistent academic support is what will truly secure their future. Just a thought.

The children's excitement about their first flight is so touching! It's these small moments of joy and new experiences that can change a child's perspective. Kudos to the team for organizing this. National integration through such exposure is a brilliant idea.

This is what governance should be about - caring for the most vulnerable. The CM personally checking on their accommodation and food shows concern. Hope this scheme gets adequate funding and isn't affected by political changes. These kids deserve stability.

As a teacher, I fully agree that experiential learning is vital. Reading about Jaipur's heritage in a book is one thing, seeing it is another. This will ignite curiosity and a love for learning. Well done, Himachal! 👏
