After visiting iconic locations in Bathinda, Firozpur, and Amritsar, on the fourth day of the visit, their journey reached its pinnacle with visits to HMEL’s Guru Gobind Singh Refinery and Takht Sri Damdama Sahib.
The Day 4 of the Punjab Exposure Tour saw the enthusiastic Jharkhand contingent stepping into the realm of technology and innovation at HMEL’s Guru Gobind Singh Refinery in Bathinda.

The visit offered the young minds from Jharkhand profound insights into the ethos of Sikhism and the enduring legacy of its revered Gurus.
In the evening, the Jharkhand Youth delegates proudly displayed their folklore in traditional attire at CU Punjab campus, immersing themselves in the rich culture of Punjab.
