Shimla- CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today warmly welcomed the ‘Children of the State’ who recently returned from an all-India educational tour. During an interaction at his official residence, the children shared their travel experiences and described the journey as a memorable and enriching one.
Encouraging them to draw inspiration from their experiences, the Chief Minister said the Sukh-Aashray Scheme was not merely a government programme but a sincere initiative to fulfil the dreams of the ‘Children of the State’. He assured them that the government would arrange coaching for higher studies and bear the full cost of their education after Plus Two.
Sukhu emphasized that these children have a rightful share in Himachal Pradesh’s resources, which are being utilized for the welfare of the underprivileged. The tour aimed to expose the children to national unity, cultural heritage, modern infrastructure and educational institutions for their overall development. On the occasion, the Chief Minister released a booklet titled “Sapnon Ki Udaan” based on the children’s journey, and a short documentary on the tour was also screened.
As many as 52 children were sent on the exposure visit from Shimla on January 6, 2026, under the Chief Minister Sukh-Aashray Scheme. Advocate General Anup Ratan, MLA Vivek Sharma and other district officers were also present on the occasion.
