The tour was conducted as part of Under 18 by WhatIsMyGoal
It was a historic day as the election officers of 40 school constituencies (schools) visited the Telangana Secretariat as part of the under-18 elections conducted by WhatIsMyGoal.

Students from top schools, such as Silver Oaks International, Birla Open Minds International, The Gaudium, Glendale Academy, Pallavi Model, DPS, and many others, were thrilled to have the opportunity to visit the Secretariat and learn about the inner workings of the government.
