Very happy to read the news about Mathru-Devo-Bhava camp organised by the Vanitha Vibhag of KBS. My personal appreciation to them. It is a good guidance to other District Sabhas also to conduct such camps to give the awareness and educate the young people to protect our culture as well as the spirit on the theme of the camp. Our warm greetings to Mothers and Sisters of KBS Vanitha Vibhag.
