National Service Scheme (NSS)

OVERVIEW:

NSS volunteers generally work with adopted villages, slums and voluntary agencies to complete 120 hours of regular activities during an academic year. As per the fundamental principles of National Service Scheme, a volunteer is expected to remain in constant touch with the community. Special camps are organized generally on various developmental issues of national importance. In the past, the themes of the Special Camping Programme have been 'Healthy Youth for Healthy India', 'Health, Public Sanitation and Personal Hygiene'

Few specific objectives are :

1. To understand the community in which they work;
2. To understand themselves in relation to their community;
3. To identify the needs and problems of the community and involve them in problem solving process;
4. To develop among themselves a sense of social and civic responsibility;
5. To utilize their knowledge in finding practical solution to individual and community problems;
6. To develop competence required for group living and sharing of responsibilities;
7. To gain skills in mobilizing community participation;
8. To acquire leadership qualities and democratic attitude;
9. To develop capacity to meet emergencies and natural disasters and
10. To practice National Integration and social harmony.

The Motto :

The motto or watchword of the National Service Scheme is 'NOT ME BUT YOU'. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society on the whole.
