Initially, she was completely reluctant to attend the camp and repeatedly refused. We were also concerned about whether she would feel comfortable there.”But as the days passed, her enthusiasm grew. She made new friends, participated in numerous activities, learned about values ​​and wisdom, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the camp. Seeing her happy and confident today fills me with pride and satisfaction. This camp not only brought her joy but also brought positive changes to her personality and thinking. My heartfelt thanks to all the Acharyas, teachers, and organizers of the Arya Samaj for providing such a wonderful opportunity for children to learn, grow, and acquire good values ​​for life. My daughter’s smile and her experiences are the biggest successes of this camp.Present on the occasion were Acharya Gyanendra, Acharya Dinesh Shastri, Ankit Arya, social worker Sanjeev Gupta, Jagdish Lal Pahwa, Radhika Nagarath, Dr Ashok Tomar, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police Brijmohan and other dignitaries.
