National Service Scheme

The National Service Scheme (NSS) is an Indian government initiative aimed at promoting social service among college students. Launched in 1969, it encourages youth to engage in community development activities, fostering a sense of responsibility and social awareness. Participants, known as NSS volunteers, take part in various programs, including education, health, and environmental initiatives. The objective is to develop leadership skills and a spirit of service among students while addressing societal needs. By participating, students gain valuable experiences that contribute to their personal growth and instill a sense of unity and patriotism.
