The national integration camp, also known as Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat camp, was conducted by 1TN Battery unit of NCC on October 17 for six days. During the first three days of the online camp, the cadets were briefed on the various changes due to the pandemic. The various cultural programs conducted were recorded at famous places in different States, such as Marina Beach and Palm Grove Officers Institute, Tamil Nadu. The cultural programs represented the history and evolution of each State in India. Later, these clips were compiled into an hour-long video that was uploaded on YouTube.
