Agartala, Oct 3: A seven-day National Service Scheme (NSS) special camp began on Saturday afternoon at PM SHRI Sekerkote Higher Secondary School, aimed at building social service and humanitarian values among students.
As part of the camp, a voluntary blood donation drive was held on the opening day, with around 26 people donating blood. A free health check-up camp was also organised in the presence of eminent doctors, and necessary medicines were distributed free of cost after the check-ups. MLA Antara Sarkar Deb also underwent a health check-up.
Addressing the gathering, Deb and sub-divisional administration officer Dipraj Roy urged students to involve themselves in humanitarian values and social service alongside their studies. They said every task in life should be approached in a spirit of service to humanity, and not merely as a duty. According to them, true humanity grows from standing by people and being accountable to society.
At the event, tribute was also paid to Indian pilot Captain Smith Machhar. He was saluted for his courage in playing a key role in saving passengers' lives, despite being stabbed, while foiling a suspected hijacking attempt.
Kamalasagar MLA Antara Sarkar Deb, headmaster Santosh Kumar Roy Chowdhury, Additional Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Sadar Sub-Division Dipraj Roy and Dukli RD Block BDO Manik Debbarma were among those present. Dukli school inspector Dipankar Das, Sekerkote Gram Panchayat deputy chief Gopal Laskar, school management committee chairman Sudhir Chandra Das and Sudip Sarkar, OSD of the West Tripura district zonal office, also attended, along with other dignitaries.
Meanwhile, the guests discussed various social and humanitarian issues with the students. The seven-day camp places emphasis on shaping students into responsible citizens through their participation in different social service activities.
