NSS bid to maintain communal harmony

 

COOCH BEHAR, March 20: The ten-day special camp that was organised by the National Service Scheme unit of Cooch Behar College at Takagachh Rajarhat Gram Panchayat area has concluded today. The NSS volunteers of the college, both boys and girls participated in a number of developmental activities in the area as part of their social service programme.

 

The student-volunteers cleaned the paths and roadside bushes in the area and conducted socio-economic surveys of about two hundred families of the locality. In the free health check up camp organised by the NSS unit at Takagachh Government Primary School, a renowned child specialist Dr Binayak Roy examined about fifty students. The villagers praised the NSS volunteers for their enthusiastic efforts for repairing and dressing of the 'Checkbandh' on the bank of Mara-Torsa river. It may be of immense help to them during the ensuing monsoon, the villagers opined.

 

The NSS volunteers also set an example of communal harmony by taking part in the renovation activity of the Madan Mohan Temple premises at Sri-Rampur village and in cleaning of the Muslim burial ground at Kaminir-ghat village. Local people from both the communities welcomed the praiseworthy efforts of the students.

 

Prof Bishnupada Mukherjee, teacher-in-charge of Cooch Behar College assured the villagers that more such social service activities would be conducted in near future under the supervision of the NSS unit of Cooch Behar College. []
