Please disburse the funds for meeting the round-trip railway fare at available concession rates for round trips to Nagpur, in the best possible manner, so as to benefit the maximum number of students.
After consulting principals of different schools and colleges concerned, the Editor may like to work out the details of the trial run. Initiate action well in time so as to get lists of students finalised by August/ September for the October 1997 trip.
