Uttar Pradesh Tourism Connects Students with Nature and Heritage
Uttar Pradesh Tourism organized special trips for kids on Children's Day.
Some students took a cool train ride with glass roofs through forests to see animals like tigers and rhinos.
Other students visited old temples and historical places to learn about the past and did fun boat rides.
Another group visited villages to see how people live, farm, and use plants.
These trips are part of a big program to teach young people about their state's beautiful nature and history.
It helps them become good guides who care about protecting these places for the future.
The goal is to make kids curious and knowledgeable about their home.
