NSS
‘Education through Service’ is the purpose of the NSS National Service Scheme (NSS) aims which at developing the personality and character of the student youth through voluntary community service. The ideological orientation of the NSS is inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi “NOT ME, BUT YOU” the motto of NSS says NSS volunteer places the ‘community’ before ‘self’. There are two NSS units working under the guidance of NSS Programme Officers, each with a strength of 100 volunteers in the college. NSS volunteers are expected to put in 120 hours of social/community work during each academic session and also to attend a minimum one camp. Enrolment for NSS volunteers is carried at the start of the academic session. NSS units work and outreach the community for various awareness programs, in identifying the needs and problems of the community and involve themselves in problem-solving exercise; hence developing among themselves a sense of social and civic responsibility; gaining the skills in mobilizing community participation, acquiring leadership qualities and democratic values; developing capacity to meet emergencies and natural disasters; and practicing national integration and social harmony. NSS attempts to establish meaningful linkages between ‘Campus and Community’, ‘College and Village’ and ‘Knowledge and Action’.
