A meet with the Hon'ble Governor of Tamilnadu .

Under tight security-check  the group of tribal students were taken to the Raj Bhaban. I was heading the team of Orissa tribal youths as the guide teacher.The tribal students were taken in their traditional costumes.We had to pass under the metal detector check for two times. The lady members of the group were thoroughly checked by a lady staff in a specially cloth built compartment. After due security check we were led into the Raj bhaban. It is a colossal structure. with attractive architectural elegance. The grassy lawn has many deers and the well-kept Garden was pleasant to the eyes. However in some part of the area I noticed  dry fallen leaves from trees. Those reminiscence of dead leaves could have been removed to make the area look more heavenly.

The security officer was very handsome and pleasing. Before the arrival of the governor he instructed us the dos and the donts.After a few minute the Governor graced the place.We were really elated to greet the Governor of the host state.

 With tea,cake and vada we were refereshed.

In the morning after a lavish breakfast the tribal youths were taken to the youth hostel auditorium of Chennai. The tribal youths were mostly  from the naxal affected states like  Orissa,Jharkhand and Chatisgarh. The meeting was followed by the dance of the youth who had participated in the  tribal youth cultural exchange programme 2009 conducted by Neheru Yuvak Kendra.I have attached a photo of the delighted youths while they were being transported to the auditorium. I regret that the moving bus has made the photo a little bit hazy.
