The week-long National Service Scheme (NSS) Camp officially commenced at Bhavan Vidyalaya, Panchkula, with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony. The event marked the beginning of seven days dedicated to service, learning, and community engagement. NSS volunteers were introduced to the aims and objectives of the scheme and reminded of its inspiring motto, “Not Me But You,” which emphasizes selfless service and concern for the welfare of others.
Principal’s Inaugural Address
Declaring the camp open, Principal Gulshan Kaur motivated the students to become ambassadors of positive change and contribute towards societal uplift. She encouraged them to adopt simple yet meaningful practices such as maintaining civic sense, developing patience and resilience, and working collectively towards nation-building. Addressing the volunteers, she emphasized that, as future citizens of the country, they have a vital role in shaping a responsible and progressive society.
CPR and Basic Life Support Session
The first day of the camp also featured an informative and practical session on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Basic Life Support. A team of doctors from Alchemist Hospital, led by Dr. Mohit Mahajan, conducted a live demonstration of CPR techniques and educated the students about the importance of timely intervention during medical emergencies. The volunteers actively participated in the session and gained valuable life-saving skills that can help them respond effectively in critical situations.
Upcoming Activities
The camp promises a variety of activities aimed at fostering leadership, social responsibility, teamwork, and community service among students, in keeping with the true spirit of the NSS. Over the next week, participants will engage in projects that reinforce the values of service and cooperation.
