THE seven-day National Integration Camp (NIC) concluded at IIITDM campus in Jabalpur, marking a successful return of prestigious event to Rani Durgavati University (RDU) after 14 years. The closing ceremony was organised in presence of Madhya Pradesh Higher Education Minister, Inder Singh Parmar, who lauded National Service Scheme (NSS) for its role in nation-building.
