Let’s celebrate: Students of North Eastern States performing at the inauguration of Inter-State Youth Exchange programme at Andhra University in Visakhapatnam
They came attired in bright colored native costumes, with some sporting traditional headgear, playing their traditional instruments, attracting attention of all.It was a different experience for those who are used to attend academic and sober meetings at the TLN Sabha Hall on Andhra University campus here on Friday, thanks to the students from North Eastern States who are here as part of the inter-State youth exchange and home-stay programme for the youth of North Eastern Sates.
It was a pleasant surprise for Vice-Chancellor B. Satyanarayana and Registrar P.V.G.D. Prasada Reddy when all the 96 students of seven North Eastern States attending the programme, received them in their traditional manner and took them inside the hall singing songs, playing drums and clapping their hands. Prof. Satyanarayana met all the students individually.
This reception has prompted the Vice-chancellor to say that it was for the first time for him to see such a welcome being accorded to some one in his 40 years of association with the campus and he would never forget it.
Inaugurated
Prof. Satyanarayana, who inaugurated the programme, said such exercises would further strengthen the bonds between people of different regions. He wanted the students to derive the best out of the camp. They could experience the Andhra culture and the life style. The programme would be held in Visakhapatnam and Hyderabad. The students would stay with local families from August 24 to 27 apart from going round the city and its important places and interacting with different sections. They would arrive in Hyderabad on August 28 and the valedictory function would be held on August 30, NSS Programme Coordinator of AU P. Ramachandra Rao said. The Union Ministry of Youth Affairs, Andhra University, NSS and the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development are jointly organising the programme.
Prof. Prasada Reddy, who presided over the inaugural session, said the youth would play an essential part in the national integration in a country which was having the unique quality of unity in diversity.
He urged the students to think about others and share their happiness with others. Assistant Programme Advisor of NSS Regional Centre (Hyderabad) K. Rajendran and former NSS Programme Coordinator of AU P.S.
