Ladakh, Feb 11: National Integration Tour for specially abled children from Ladakh was conducted under the aegis of Fire and Fury Corps as part of Operation Sadbhavana between 03-11 Feb 2026.
The tour was carefully conceptualised as a platform for inclusive learning, cultural exchange and national integration. The objective of the tour was not merely to familiarise the children with the historical and heritage landmarks of the nation but also to provide meaningful exposure to India’s democratic values, diverse traditions and shared legacy.
On the 11th of February the entire entourage was flagged in, amidst unprecedented cheer and exuberance of the young participants and their mentors, by Lt Gen Hitesh Bhalla UYSM, SC, SM, VSM, GOC, Fire and Fury Corps.
The GOC complimented all participants and organisers for a flawless conduct. Senior Military and Civil officials including Bhanu Prabha, IAS, Administrative Secretary for Higher Education, School Education, Technical Education & Skill Development, UT of Ladakh attended the event and interacted with students, teachers and parents.
The itinerary across Delhi, Agra and Jaipur included visits to iconic monuments, institutions of national importance and interactions with distinguished dignitaries to include President of India, GOC-in-C South Western Command and Governor of Rajasthan, which collectively contributed to broadening the children’s outlook and confidence.
Special emphasis was placed on ensuring accessibility, safety and emotional well-being, allowing the participants to experience the journey with dignity and enthusiasm.
Fire and Fury Corps is taking numerous initiatives to promote education in Ladakh. Inclusion of specially abled children in these educational initiatives will enhance their morale and motivation. This will also encourage the society in recognising them as an important part of the community. With this objective, this tour was specially organised for the benefit of Children With Special Needs (CWSN) studying at Govt High School, Chuchot Yokma.
Such initiatives play a vital role in empowering children of Ladakh by fostering self-belief, social inclusion and a deep sense of pride in being an integral part of the nation. The tour stands as a sincere effort towards nurturing informed, confident and inspired young citizens.
