Zahida, a first year BA student from Baramulla district, said she was delighted to see the Raj Bhavan heritage buildings.

Inter second year student Jaffar Hussain from Bandipora district said he belonged to a poor



family and can’t afford even to travel outside his region. It is due to the government’ s initiative that he got the opportunity to see Hyderabad.

Yaqub Ahmed, studying BSc final year from Bandipora district, narrated his experiences of seeing beautiful places in Hyderabad. Jasmim Zahoor, 4th semester BA (Honors) from Budgan, said the tour was very informative and interesting.
