Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar will inaugurate the 2018 edition of ‘KVS National Integration Camp-EK Bharat Shreshth Bharat’ at the lawns of Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi on October 31, 2018.

The programme will remain open to the public during all three days from 31 st October to November 2, and timings will be 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The concept of National Integration Camp is unique in many ways. The 25 regions of KVS will cover 25 Indian States and 25 Countries altogether in terms of the cultural heritage- Dance, Music, Song, and Socio-Economic progress.

This mega-event is a broad platform for students to display their creativity, originality, artistic skills, etc. It gives them an opportunity to know about the culture, tradition, art, and architecture of not only the other states of India but of the various countries of the world.

In the process of satiating the thirst for information, they overcome many challenges and linguistic and geographical barriers and awaken a strong sense of national pride and widen their horizons with a better cosmopolitan outlook. In a nutshell, the programme not only encompasses performing arts but also provides a glimpse of the processes through which they learn and acquire knowledge.
