National Integration

A very Good Morning to all present here! I am standing here to present a speech on the
topic – ‘National Integration’. It is a very significant aspect as it has a deep bearing on the
country’s unity and integrity.

What exactly does National Integration mean? It means the realization of collective identity
among the natives of a country. It signifies that even though we all belong to diverse
religions, regions, castes and speak different languages; we must always feel that we all are
one. Such feeling of oneness is very crucial for building a prosperous and strong nation.

National Integration not only helps in the formation of a strong country, but also encourages
the development of its people. In India, the period from 19th November to 25th November is
celebrated as the National Integration Week to raise awareness about the subject matter
among the common public.

If people of our country stand in unity, many societal issues can be eradicated.

National integration has led to the formation of an invisible thread of unity which binds
different parts of the country. It has certainly added to the country’s strength. During the
struggle for Independence also, people of our country came together to win freedom from
the unjust foreign rule.

In the end, I would like to say that we as Indian citizens must stand united for protecting
national security. There is a famous citation by Emanuel Cleaver on National Integration
which says that “There is more power in unity than division”. Hence, we must always remain
united irrespective of all our social, linguistic and religious differences.

Thank You!
