Leaders and activists cutting across partylines took part in the camp apart from youngsters from across districts.
Journalists, social activists, educationists and other well-known persons from different fields were felicitated during the programme. Kalinga Yuva Sena, a forum dedicated for ‘Gau seva’ in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, was also provided a Tata van on this occasion.
