An ever memorable experience with our Border Men --Border Security Force 11 Battalion

The day started early as the morning son reaches horizon pretty early in North Eastern States. I completed my morning walk of almost two k.m. and returned to the hostel by 6.30 am. Had a cup of hot tea outside in a small shop. The chilling cold prevailed till 9 am. Some pictures of the morning of Shillong will definitely pull your mind and tempt you to visit this place next time. 

The city is built on the hill slopes. Beautiful demonstration of the skill of man to occupy the serene hill slope. 

Our team prepared the schedule to cover the local attractions that day. At first we visited Don Bosco Museum. This museum tells you the anthropological and ethnic features of tribes of North Eastern States in detail. The cultural life and the social life is displayed through photographs, representation of tools used in day today life, musical instruments, clothing pattern etc. wonderfully presented in different levels. 

The sky walk at the roof provide a birds view of the city of Shillong. 

Once we finished the Museum tour, moved to the Park and the market. Evening was reserved for a programme at 11 BSF Battalion. This was first of it kind that we never did before in any educational trips. Our students performed a wonderful cultural programme that was applauded by the officers present. I narrated about BHU and how it serves the educational needs of thousands of students of India and abroad. My colleague Dr. Priyanka Singh coordinated the event in a very smooth manner. The DIG of BSF Sri Karni Singh congratulated our students in the august gathering. 

It was an ever memorable experience waiting for us in the evening ..
When we returned to the hostel after the event, every student was recollecting this most prestigious time of their life they spent among the brave officers of India who guards our borders.
