Mangaluru: Renowned Gandhian and veteran social reformer S N Subba Rao inaugurated National Integration Camp for Youth at Yenepoya University. The camp is organized jointly with National Service Scheme (NSS), National Youth Project and the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of Karnataka. 350 NSS volunteers, NYP state coordinators, NSS programme officers and students from 19 states of India are participating in the weeklong event, which is being held at Yenepoya University campus at Derlakatte, Mangalore from May 1 to 7, 2017. A contingent of 120 students of Yenepoya University is also participating in the camp.

Speaking on the occasion, Subba Rao said, “After Indian independence, 117 countries became independent and all of them drew inspiration from India’s freedom. But many of these countries later lost their freedom to dictators. Even Pakistan got split and Bangladesh was formed. Soviet Union had 16 languages and each language became a nation. Yugoslavia had 3 languages and became 3 countries. Czechoslovakia had two languages and today they are two countries. India has much more variety, yet we are united because we are all interested in being together."

He concluded his talk with an interactive session where he encouraged NSS volunteers from different states to shout slogans and national integration messages in the language of their respective states.

In his presidential address, Yenepoya Abdulla Kunhi, Chancellor, Yenepoya University observed that the most impressive quality of NSS movement is the spirit of volunteerism that it imbibes in the younger generations. “Volunteerism is the highest form of selfless service. Engaging in voluntary service is a spiritually uplifting experience. It brings out our empathy and makes to see god in humanity,” he said.

Dr. B. H. Shripathi Rao, Dean of Yenepoya Dental College; Dr. Shreekumar Menon, Registrar of Yenepoya University, Sukumaran, Secretary of National Youth Project, Kerala; Ramsingh Parmar, Secretary of National Youth project; organizing secretaries of the camp Anil Hebbar, National Youth Project and Dr. Ashwini S.
