JAMMU, Feb 3: The Students’ Experience in Inter-State Living (SEIL) tour, facilitated by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), has arrived today for its event scheduled from February 3 to 6, 2025.
This tour represents a key initiative by ABVP intended to promote cultural exchange and national unity by connecting students from the northeastern states with various regions of India.
While in Jammu, the delegates will participate in interactive sessions, cultural events, and educational excursions to immerse themselves in the area’s rich traditions and heritage.
