Following the violence in Jabalpur in 1961, then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru convened a meeting to find a way to deal with the issue of dividing the country, such as attachment to a particular community, caste, region or language. The result of this meeting was the National Integrated Council. Therefore, the Council for National Integration met for the first time in June 1962 to consider and make recommendations on the issue of national integration.
Currently, the National Integration Council operates under the chair of the Prime Minister and has 147 members, including the Federal Minister, the opposition leaders of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the Prime Ministers of all states and coalition regions, and various parliaments and members. The Council aims to find ways to combat South Asian sectarianism, casteism, and regionalism.
The basis of our national life is common citizenship, unity of diversity, freedom of religion, secularism, equality, social, economic and political justice and fraternity among all communities. The National Integration Council reaffirms its trust in these values and is working to achieve them.
However, the National Integration Council has expressed concern about the increasing number of joint cases in various parts of the country in recent years. The council lives in peace and harmony, regardless of religious affiliation, the majority of men and women in general, despite sporadic cases of community and other divisive conflicts, violence and anxiety. The National Integrated Council condemns the underlying trends of national solidarity and seeks to prevent them from all political parties, voluntary organizations, other citizens’ groups, the media, opinion leaders, and generally all in good faith. I urge you. By discouraging community resentment and local hostility and separating the false elements of society from the path of violence. By proactively and proactively promoting the principles supported by this country, especially tolerance and harmony.

National Integration Council committee
In April 2010, the council was reorganized with 147 members, again chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The 15th meeting was scheduled for September 10, 2011, in Delhi. The agenda included a discussion of measures to eliminate discrimination, promote community harmony, and curb communitarianism and violence. Participants should also discuss how the state and police should deal with civil anxiety, and how to curb the intensification of youth in the name of religion and caste. The joint violence bill was attacked at the conference, and Bharatiya Janata leaders said the law would encourage communitarianism rather than curb it, and the law mistakenly assumed that the majority were always responsible for uprisings. He said he did.
On October 19, 2010, the government established a standing committee of the National Council for Integration. Interior Minister P. Chidambaram was appointed chair, and four federal ministers and nine prime ministers were appointed as members. The committee decides on the agenda items for future board meetings.
Conclusion:
National integration is especially important in countries like India where people with different languages, religions, races and cultures must be integrated. The “unification of diversity”, which we are proud of, can only be maintained if we understand and respect each other’s religions, customs and traditions. It is said that “stand together, divide into and collapse”. In order for us to survive as a nation and maintain sovereignty and the integrity of the nation, we must continue to unite.
