The meeting discussed at length four kinds of activities to be held throughout the year—special camps for young girls, women conventions, women intellectual seminars and young couple conventions. The women conferences will be organised from October 15 to 31. As far as camps for young girls are concerned, there are planning, to organise at least 1,500 camps all over the country.
