I have created a select2 dropdown with

    <select class=form-control select2  id=country>

<option value=1>India</option>

<option value=2>Aus</option>

<option value=3>usa</option>

    </select>

Now i am selecting selected value via jquery trigger event

$('#country').val('1').trigger('change'); 

here, country gets selected with passed value but On this event i also want to trigger change event which is not triggering.

$(#country).change(function() {

alert('on country change');

});

If i change manually from select2 then the change event fires and it shows the alert but i want to fire the change event automatically when the country value changes from jquery. Any clues?

Thanks in advance.
