SRINAGAR, May 30: N. N. Vohra, Governor, today stressed the need for extending activities of Bharat Scouts and Guides to the remote and far-flung areas of the State to bring a much larger number of youth under the ambit of Scouts and Guides movement.
The Governor was interacting with a group of Scouts and Guides which called on him at Raj Bhavan here today to felicitate him on his appointment for the second term. This group of Scouts and Guides was led by N. A. Khan, State Chief Commissioner, J&K State Bharat Scouts and Guides.
The Governor observed that all required initiatives need to be taken to strengthen the Scouts and Guides movement in the State. In this context, he said that more national level Scouts and Guides events should be organized in the State as these would provide a very good opportunity for boys and girls to meet and interact with their counterparts from other parts of the country, adding that such interactions go a long way in promoting camaraderie and deeper understandings.
The Governor held discussions with Mr. Khan, and the group of Scouts and Guides accompanying him, on various issues relating to the promotion of Scouts and Guides movement in the State and observed that he would address the Youth Services and Sports Minister with regard to certain issues which came up during the discussions.
Mr. Khan briefed the Governor about the activities of the J&K State Bharat Scouts and Guides undertaken in the recent months and those planned during the rest of the year.
The Governor accepted Mr. Khan’s request to inaugurate the National Integration Camp for Scouts and Guides to be held at Boniyar later this year.
The Scouts and Guides thanked the Governor for taking keen interest in the promotion of Scouts and Guides movement in the State and presented to him two congratulatory scrolls signed by the functionaries of the organization and Scouts and Guides.
They also presented to him a photo album of the various functions of Scouts and Guides held at Raj Bhavan during the past four years, as a memorabilia.
