Integrity Day
Integration means the unity of the nation. It has been rightly said “United we stand but divided we fall”. A nation which is not united falls like a house of cards. It is a particular sentiment that binds together all people in one common bond no matter what their religion, language or history is. It is strong cementing force whereby all kinds of people live together peacefully and can identify themselves as a part of a single whole. We belong to India. India is ours is the feeling which constitutes the very basis of national integration.
India is a vast country with a vast population. If we get united, this great human force with great resources of the country can carry the whole world with us. The worst tragedy that has devoured up India is complete national disintegration. It appears that India is not a nation, but simply a crowd of separate individuals each differing from the other, yet living together.
It is the foresight of our founder Henry Gissenbir who believed that in some time of tomorrow JCI will stir the people towards the
establishment of a permanent and everlasting world peace. Now is the time to act.
INTEGRITY DAY is a day that makes you feel and celebrate the quality of honesty and the morality upright in our own life that adds value to our life, the society and the country that we belong. The objective of celebrating the INTEGRITY DAY can provide an opportunity to Children, Youth and Individuals by introducing themselves to Values and Principles.
February is the right month to have this program as the school and and colleges will be working with full swing. On 2 February all
over the nation Jaycees shall celebrate Integrity day. INTEGRITY
DAY would be celebrated on 2nd February of each year from 2011 to 2013 as National Integrity Day and from 2014 go global as INTERNATIONAL INTEGRITY DAY.
