The National Service Scheme popularly known as NSS, was launched on 9th November 1969; it aims at developing student’s personality through community service. It is a Central Sector Scheme of Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. NSS is a voluntary association of young people in college permitted to provide services for minimum 2 years, at Colleges and Universities of India. The sole aim of the NSS is to provide hands-on experience to young students in delivering community services.

‘Education through Service’ is the purpose of the NSS. The ideological orientation of the NSS is inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. Very appropriately, the motto of NSS is “NOT ME, BUT YOU”. An NSS volunteer places the ‘community’ before ‘self’.

SYMBOL OF NSS :

The symbol for NSS has been based on the giant Rath Wheel of the world-famous Konark Sun Temple. The eight bars in the wheel represent 24 hours of a day. The red colour indicates that the volunteer is full of young blood that is lively, active, energetic and full of high spirit. The navy blue colour indicates the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of mankind. It stands for continuity as well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social transformation and uplift.
