NSS should inculcate patriotism among students: CM Khattar

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said that the National Service Scheme (NSS) should inculcate patriotism along with doing social service among the students. Besides this, NSS should also inculcate the feeling of Nation first among Students, said Sh. Manohar Lal. He also called upon the office bearers of NSS across the State to make their role more popular by playing a pivotal contribution in ensuring the reach of public welfare schemes to the grassroot levels.

The Chief Minister was speaking at a one-day workshop of NSS officials organized by the Haryana State Council of Higher Education at Haryana Niwas on Wednesday.

Speaking on the occasion, Sh. Manohar Lal said that everyone should serve society in the spirit of Antyodaya. Each one of us should come forward to serve those at the bottom of the pyramid. Ensuring the well-being of the last person first should be done selflessly. This sense of service needs to be inculcated in every person. This kind of feeling keeps our society together, said the Chief Minister.

He said that today several public welfare schemes are being run by the State Government and most of the schemes have been linked to Parivar Pehchan Patria (PPP).

Government officials, employees and volunteers have played an important role in the PPP verification through this verification, families having an annual income of less than 1.80 lakh have been identified, said the Chief Minister.

The Chief Minister said that on this Independence Day, 'Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan' has been launched, which will run from August 13 to August 15. He called upon all NSS volunteers to actively participate in this campaign.

The Chief Minister said that this time on Independence Day, invitations would be sent to the homes of people born before August 15, 1947, to participate in the Independence Day programme.
