NATIONAL

INTEGRATION

CAMPS

2016

As an offbeat opportunity to explore the world around in a different manner, camps are a

special experience for all. You are neither bound by the existing routine, nor does the noise of the

present situations suppresses upon you, you are free to exercise your own ideology to the subject

and reap the best out of it.

Youth constitutes about 60% of India’s population. The same population has to shoulder

the responsibility of its progress tomorrow. The large diversity of our culture is equally challenged

by several disintegrating factors such as religious intolerance, regionalism, casteism, linguistic

diversity etc. There is a strong need of the strength in the character, a feeling of belongingness

towards the motherland and an experience to remain committed to the values that unite us.

The Union Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports has a unique initiative to preserve the 5000

year old civilization by empowering the youth through national integration camps. Camps leave

lasting impressions on participant’s memories.

OUR VISION FOR NATIONAL INTEGRATION CAMPS (NICs)

It has been more than a decade since Brahma Kumaris have been

organising National Integration Camps in association with Union Ministry

of Youth Affairs & Sports with the following objectives:

Educate youth with good judgment, concentration and self–

confidence.

Youth Free from Unhealthy Addictions.

Voluntary discipline characterized by simple living, high thinking.

Facilitate attitude of universal brotherhood, spiritual love, tolerance

& non-violence.

Foster Spirit of community service by engaging in welfare activities.

Use meditation as powerful tool to fight the problems posed by

declining values, unhealthy lifestyles and other uncertainties.

Railways station can either move to Sarai Kale Khan bus terminus (which is at a

walking distance from Hazrat Nizammuddin railway station) to board a state

roadways bus to ORC which will definitely save time. Another option is to go to

New Delhi or Old Delhi railway stations and board one of the following trains as
