NSS - PROFILE

Dr.L.Bullayya Jr. College

The Motto

The motto of the National Service Scheme (NSS) is "Not Me, But You," reflecting its commitment to selfless service and community engagement.

The Vision

The National Service Scheme (NSS) was launched in 1969, during the birth centenary year of Mahatma Gandhi, in 37 universities with 40,000 volunteers. It was conceived as an educational project outside the classroom, aimed at the holistic development of student volunteers through community service. The NSS strives to build a connection between the campus and the community, bridging knowledge and action, and fostering the dignity of labour within the higher education system. The ultimate goal is to create self-reliant, self-confident, and respected citizens.

The Mission

The NSS program has successfully achieved its objectives in three key areas:

1. Social Relevance: It has made education more socially relevant and community-oriented.

2. Community Assets: NSS volunteers have built numerous community assets, such as roads, tree plantations, and have organized health and literacy camps.

3. Opportunities for Growth: The programme has provided ample opportunities for students, teachers, and non-student youth to promote general awareness and human resource development.

In the state of Andhra Pradesh, the NSS program is active in all 15 universities, engaging 3,25,600 volunteers. Within the Andhra University area alone, 65,000 volunteers from various Intermediate, Degree, and Professional Colleges across five districts participate in the program.

The NSS unit of Andhra University has made significant contributions in areas such as AIDS awareness, blood donation, pulse polio immunization, tree planting, disaster management, road construction, literacy development, leadership training, communication skills, and personality and career development through both regular and special camping programs.
