Have you ever wondered about your culture? We might not be well aware, but we come from a city of munificent rulers and scenic architecture. Our city has a legacy of rich heritage and culture. As the citizens and the future generation, it is our duty to be able to preserve and restore such wonderful monuments.
In order to make students appreciate the glorious monuments in and around the city, and to explore and esteem our city’s treasure the Rajkumar College, Girls’ Section organized a heritage walk around Rajkot on 11th August 2023.
