Introduction: The initiative for introduction of National Service Scheme (NSS) has been started since 1966 and ultimately introduced on the birth centenary of Mahatma Gandhi in 1969 with a motto “NOT ME BUT YOU” and with a overall objective of “Development of Students personality through community service”. The goal of NSS is “Education through community service and community service through education”. Initially, the strength of student volunteers was 40,000 and now it has reached a strength of 35 lakhs in the country.

A student enrolled as NSS volunteer should put in at least 120 hours in social service in a year for a continuous period of two years i.e. 240 hours in two years. The NSS Unit may undertake the following activities such as environment enrichment and conservation, health, family welfare & nutrition programmes, awareness for improvement of woman status, social service programmes, production oriented programmes, emergencies, education and recreation, youth welfare programmes, etc.
