National Service Scheme (NSS)

The overall aim of National Service Scheme is to give an extension to the higher education system and orient the student youth to community service while they are studying in the College. The sole aim of the NSS is to provide hands on experience to young students in delivering community service. NSS activities of our students were fine tuned to this objective. All the youth volunteers who opt to serve the Nation through the NSS led community service wear the NSS badge with pride and a sense of responsibility towards helping the needy.
The slogan of National Service Scheme is “NOT ME BUT YOU”

Objectives

• Community Service: The NSS seeks to engage students in various community service activities that address local issues and contribute to the betterment of society. This includes activities like cleanliness drives, health camps, literacy programs, and environmental conservation efforts.
• Personality Development: NSS aims to develop students' personalities by instilling qualities such as leadership, communication skills, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are honed through hands-on involvement in various projects.
