New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) The theme of this year's National Children's Assembly is 'Promoting Gandhian Values of Bonding for Truth, Peace&Non-violence'.

The theme has been chosen so that the values which are being progressively eroded may be revived and the children may be motivated to create a world which is not torn by differences of border, region and religion, the organisers said.

An International Conference of Children on the same theme is also being organized from November 14-16.

Minister of Human Resource Development Arjun Singh will inaugurate National Children's Assembly&Integration Camp here on November 14 at National Bal Bhavan.

Throughout the year, Bal Bhavan organizes numerous creative and innovative programmes at local, state, zonal, national and sometimes even at international level.

The National Children's Assembly and Integration Camp is an annual feature of Bal Bhavan in which children from all parts of the country and abroad participate.

This camp not only promotes national, international integration, amity, brotherhood and goodwill among children of our country and children from our friendly countries who wish to know about the culture of India.
