Students’ Experience in Inter-state Living (SEIL) 50 SEIL: A unique experiment towards National Integration. With more than 166 tribes following different beliefs and cultural traditions, North East region of our country truly represents the ethos of our great nation. Although their features, food habits and such visible practices somewhat differ from the rest of the country, there are evidences and findings which unequivocally establish the fact that the region has been very much part of our common living. The blue hills, green valleys and the most importantly the people living there make the region special. The rich natural resources like water, minerals, oil and bio diversity is our national wealth. On this background when some of the student activists of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) visited the region in 1965, they were surprised to find the feeling of alienation and lack of awareness further complicated by mis- communication amongst the regions separated by long physical distance. An honest and detail assessment of this situation led these activists to an innovative project aimed at overcoming this challenge and promote emotional integration amongst the far flung areas of our nation. This simple yet what has over the years proved to be very effective project was named as Students’ Experience in Inter-state Living (SEIL) “One Nation- One People-One Culture” is SEIL credo. By forging sense of belongingness and self realization of cultural similarities amongst the youth in their formative age, SEL has shown more practical approach towards national integration. This project is celebrating its Golden Jubilee year in 2015-16.
