A 7-Day and Night NSS Camp began at Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women, Chandigarh. True to its theme- ‘Shakti: Building Potential Through Upskilling’, the camp aims to ignite the innate strength of the girl students and empower them by equipping them with practical skills, instilling confidence, and promoting innovation and collaboration. Dr. Nemi Chand, NSS State Liaison Officer, Chandigarh Administration, was the Chief Guest for the inaugural of the camp. Addressing the students as the architects of the future, Dr. Nemi Chand emphasised the significance of NSS in nation building and social upliftment. He encouraged the students to build a world reflective of their values, ingenuity, and commitment to positive change.
Auspicious lamp lighting ceremony was followed by showcasing of a video depicting the work done by the NSS units of the college. Keeping in view the importance of self-defence adeptness in instilling a sense of empowerment and independence, the participants were trained in self-defence techniques by Chandigarh Police Department. This was followed by a session on ‘Lifestyle Management based on Lokayurveda’ by Ms. Shyampriya wherein she emphasised the importance of Ayurveda and Prakriti in offering a holistic approach to promoting health and well-being. The last session of the inaugural day was conducted by Mr. Gurprakash on latest developments and careers in farming. He highlighted that choosing farming as a career allows individuals to preserve and pass on traditional agricultural knowledge along with adopting new techniques, and added that sustainable farming practices play a crucial role in preserving ecosystem, soil health, and biodiversity.
Principal Dr. Nisha Bhargava informed that at the core of this camp’s vision is the commitment to providing students with skills that go beyond academic knowledge and empower them to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. She added that the camp incorporates a dynamic mix of skill-building sessions, team activities, and mentorship opportunities.
