The Motto :

The Vision :

The National Service Scheme (NSS) was launched on the birth centenary year of Gandhiji in 1969 in 37 Universities with 40,000 NSS volunteers as an educational project outside the classrooms. The basic aim of NSS is the overall personality development of the student volunteers through community service, by establishing a link between the campus and the community, between knowledge and action, between the head and hand and introducing the spirit of dignity of labour in the higher education system, making student youth self-reliant, self-confident and thus making self-respected citizens.

 
The Mission: NSS programme has achieved its goals in three important areas namely :
  • Has made education socially relevant and community-oriented.
  • It has built many community assets like the construction of roads, the planting of innumerable trees, health and literacy camps etc.
  • It has provided ample opportunities for the students, teachers, non-student youth in promoting general awareness and human resources development.
