SCHUYLKILL HAVEN, PA., May 31, 2010: Hindu Students Council (HSC) celebrated its 20th anniversary with its Annual Youth Camp at the Vraj Broomi grounds last Memorial Day Weekend. Students from over ten of HSC’s fifty-five plus college chapters, traveling from as far away as California, attended the event.
The camp marks a historic twenty years of HSC serving the community. The organization was founded in 1990 by three students seeking to help their peers organize and provide them with opportunities to learn about Hindu heritage and culture. One of the three original founders, Kanchan Banerjee, was present this weekend to donate his time to the camp. A 501c3 non-profit, HSC also seeks to foster awareness of issues affecting Hindus, and this mission took center-stage at the camp.
HSC is an international forum providing opportunities for college students and young professionals to learn about Hindu heritage through various activities, events and projects. With over fifty-five chapters in North America and several inspired chapters around the world, HSC is the largest Hindu Youth organization outside of India.
