‘Saansad Bharat Darshan’, an initiative by MP Anurag Thakur from Himachal Pradesh, which took 40 meritorious girl students of Class X and XII from Hamirpur to various parts of India, concluded at the Press Club in Chandigarh on Tuesday.
Under the first phase of the programme, girls were selected for the tour. It was a 10-day excursion in which they visited Pune and Bengaluru — five days each.
