On the first day of the camp Prof. Devinder Singh Mohali addressed the youth the discussed the present situation of Sikhs in the Punjab and reasons behind it. He linked the debts of the farmers to introduction of Young (Modern) Technology in Agriculture of Punjab back in sixties of last century. He said no research or study about the likely effects of introduction of this technology on social fabric of Punjab was made, therefore today we see that farmers are in depression and they are committing suicides. Secondly, Punjab’s Agriculture has become an “Industrial Consumer” since the introduction of Young Technology in Agriculture of Punjab; due to this Farmers of Punjab are caught in heavy debts. After this there was question-answers session in which youth took special interest.
