Agartala: Mar 26. In a proud and inspiring moment, girl students from Dima Hasao had the rare honour of interacting with the Governor of Tripura during an inter-state educational tour facilitated by the Assam Rifles, marking a significant step in their journey of learning and empowerment.
The initiative, organised by the 21 Sector Assam Rifles, brought 21 girl students from various tribal communities of Assam to Tripura. These students are currently undergoing training at the Free Computer Learning Centre run by “A Ray of Hope” Society (AROH), a dedicated NGO based in Haflong. Accompanying them were eight committed volunteers who have been actively supporting their academic and personal development.
The interaction with the Governor stood out as the highlight of the tour. In an engaging and motivational exchange, the students shared their journeys of resilience and determination, explaining how access to education and digital literacy is helping them shape aspirations for a better future. Their stories reflected a strong sense of purpose and a growing confidence to pursue paths of independence and leadership.
The Governor lauded the courage and ambition of the young learners and appreciated the efforts of Assam Rifles and AROH in uplifting marginalised communities through meaningful educational initiatives. The interaction not only boosted the morale of the students but also reinforced the importance of knowledge, self-belief and perseverance.
The inter-state educational tour has been thoughtfully designed to broaden perspectives and inspire ambition among the participants, many of whom are stepping outside their home district for the first time. The students will also visit places of significance to include Albert Ekka War Memorial, Ujjayanta Palace, Neer Mahal and ICP Agartala.
Such initiatives underscore the continued commitment of the Assam Rifles towards nation-building and social outreach in the Northeast. By empowering young tribal girls through education and opportunity, the force remains a steadfast partner in fostering progress, inclusivity, and hope in remote regions.
