Special lecture held during NSS camp in Kurukshetra

A lecture was organised on the fourth day of the seven-day special camp organised by the NSS Unit of Indira Gandhi National College in Dudha village on Monday.

Principal Dr Kushal Pal addressed the gathering, emphasising that through continuous participation in various activities organised by the NSS camp, students gain a deep understanding of the social fabric and practical challenges in society.

He mentioned that the volunteers not only learn the value of altruism but also dedicate themselves selflessly to helping those in need. He highlighted that, driven by the spirit of awareness, the NSS volunteers go from village to village, educating and enlightening people on various social issues such as drug abuse, dowry, road safety and environmental degradation.

Chief guest Rekha Garg encouraged the volunteers and stressed that participation in NSS activities boosts self-confidence. She said, "It is only through self-confidence that one can achieve the greatest accomplishments in life. All students should actively engage in NSS activities with zeal and enthusiasm."

Social workers Veena Bansal and Poonam Singla shared their thoughts on the vital role youth play in nation-building. They said that through NSS, students learn the values of patriotism and teamwork, which are essential for personal and national development. They also emphasised that there are no shortcuts to success and hard work is the only path to achieve one’s goals. The youth must always follow the right path, as development of the nation is directly linked to the direction in which its youth move.

Programme Officer Dr Surender Kumar highlighted the significance of such programmes in shaping the character of students. A total of 82 volunteers participated in the event.
