National Service Scheme (NSS)
The National Service Scheme (NSS), sponsored by the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Government of India, formally launched in Mahatma Gandhiji’s Centenary year, 1969 to develop the student’s personality through community oriented services. As a part of the academic programme National Service Scheme (NSS) has been functioning as a regular feature in our college campus, organizing blood donation camps, free eye camps and other social awareness programmes . First Aid awareness programmes and AIDS awareness programmes are also organized. Engaging in social activity to bridge the gap between the fortunate and the less fortunate through empowerment is the main focus of NSS activity.
NSS MOTO
“Not me, but you”
The symbol of the National Service Scheme, as appearing on the cover page of this Manual is based on the ‘ Rath ‘ wheel of the Konark Sun Temple situated in Orissa. These giant wheels of the Sun Temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and release, and signify the movement in life across time and space.
The design of the symbol, a simplified form of the Sun-chariot wheel primarily depicts movement. The wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life. It stands for continuity as well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social transformation and upliftment.
