Hoshiarpur- The new generation should try to free the country from evils. This idea was expressed by the editor of the only Punjabi children's magazine Nikkian Karumbalan, registered in the India Book of Records, and Shiromani Sahityakar Baljinder Mann while addressing the NSS volunteers at the School of Eminence, Khwaspur, Hiran.
He further said that seven to eight decades have passed since the country became independent, but poverty, unemployment, hunger, casteism and religious fanaticism are still prevalent in the country. This proves that we all have to unite and fight another war of freedom in which the new generation can play a special role.
He told the volunteers that by becoming a member of NSS, you can make an important contribution to the new construction of the country and the nation. The ability to change the prevailing trends in the country is in the hands of the new generation. For this, they will have to instill qualities like determination, hard work, dedication, labor, solidarity, equality, honesty and courage in themselves.
Due to these qualities, they can set an example and provide new lines to the country. They also motivated the students to read as many healthy books as possible, to be in good company, tolerant, obedient and to be of sweet speech. Nikkiya Karumbalan Prakashan awarded the best volunteers Vanshika, Amit Kumar, Komal, Rajvir Singh and Gautam with sets of books.
Similarly, a set of books for the school library was given to Principal Ramandeep Kaur and the students got large copies of the magazine. The Best Team Spirit award went to Red Group and the Best Speaker award went to Mandeep Singh and Shifa. Certificates were also distributed to the volunteers who did excellent work during the NSS camp.
On this occasion, NSS Program Officer Sukhjit Kaur welcomed the guests and said that it is a matter of great pride for them today that eminent patriots, writers, editors and journalists who started their lives as NSS volunteers are coming in front of the students. We should learn from their experiences and get a respectable place in the society.
Principal Ramandeep Kaur specially thanked Baljinder Mann and said that such personalities are a source of inspiration for students and teachers who have dedicated their entire lives to education, literature, art, culture, sports and social service. District Coordinator Education Department Yodha Mal and Corporation Sanitation Officer Madam Meena Kumari were present on this occasion.
Lecturer staff members Kulvir Kaur, Preeti Soni, Meenakshi, Sarita, Harjinder Singh, Amandeep Kaur, Sandeep Kaur, Rajwinder Kaur etc. played a role in organizing the arrangements of the volunteer felicitation ceremony in a splendid manner. Thanking everyone, Sukhjit Kaur, Program Officer of the NSS unit, said that we should all fulfill our respective responsibilities well.
