A National Integration camp was organized by the Ministry of Youths Affairs and Sports in our school campus during the last winter vacation. About two hundred students from different schools and colleges of the area attended the camp. It was a one week camp which started on December 22 and ended on December 28.
The volunteers remained busy in different activities. They served the locality with projects like cleaning dharamashalas, cremation ground, stadium, panchayat homes as well as planting saplings in the locality. As it was a national-level camp, volunteers from other States had also come to participate in the camp.
There were lectures by specialists in various fields on health awareness, national integration, communal harmony, environmental science and awareness. Some lecturers also highlighted various problems being faced by our country such as terrorism, unemployment, poverty, AIDS, cancer, etc.
