The performers conveyed the message of peace and harmony through their euphonic play — Love is universal — scripted by Kavita Monga based on Kipling’s novel. A one-day training camp by Hindustan Scouts and Guides was organised at DAV Public School, Kailash Hills recently. Forty students took part in the event. After the flag hoisting, students were imparted vocational skills to undertake activities relating to community development, social service and environmental conservation to foster the spirit of leadership, discipline, brotherhood and patriotism. The children enjoyed tying knots, carrying injured people on stretchers and using emergency signals. Principal Ira Khanna appreciated the efforts of the students and the teachers. She said lessons learnt by participants will not only benefit the individuals but also the society at large.
