200 NSS volunteers to participate in National Integration Camp

After successfully organising a three-day Zonal Youth Festival, the SD PG College will organise a seven-day National Integration Camp from Monday.

As many as 200 National Service Scheme volunteers from various colleges and universities of 17 states and union territories — Karnataka, Bihar, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh, Sikkim, Gujrat, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh — would participate in the national camp.

SD College principal Anupam Arora said Rahul Hooda, Director of Higher Education Department, would inaugurate the camp on Monday while Shrawan Ram, Regional Director, NSS, would be the guest of honour.

Arora says it is the biggest event of the NSS programme and the college is feeling proud to organise the camp.

During the seven-day camp, the NSS volunteer would participate in a seminar, various social activities and workshops while the evening sessions would fill with the cultural activities. The volunteers would showcase their cultural and glorious heritage of their states and strengthen the foundation of the national unity, the principal added.

Arora said the aim of organising such camps was to experience the traditions, customs, culture and language of all states of India under one roof. Such camps also provided an opportunity to develop the overall personality of the NSS volunteers, he said.
