Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot flagged off a batch of nurses embarking on a trekking expedition to the Himalayas, at a function in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
The trekking expedition - titled Vision 2023 - has been organised by Tiger Adventure Foundation, Mysuru, in association with Diya Foundation and Ladies Circle India. The Governor lauded the efforts of the organisers and signed the expedition flag. Shailini Rajneesh, Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Karnataka, and others were present.
D.S.D. Solanki of TAF said nurses are least appreciated despite the importance of their service to the community and hence the idea of an expedition for nurses was conceived. ‘’The nursing community toiled day and night and rekindled the hopes of COVID-19 patients during the pandemic and this event has been planned as a token of our gratitude to the nursing community and is the first of its kind,” he added.
