NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME (N.S.S)

                          NSS was started in the year 1969 to establish a meaningful linkage between the campus and community. With the aim of developing the personality of the younger generation through selfless community service, it was recognized that the country could not progress in a desired direction until the student youth are motivated to work for the upliftment of the villages/community. Therefore for the national reconstruction and national resurgence it was deemed to appropriate that the students and teachers should be properly sensitized and utilized for strengthening the Indian society as a whole with a particular emphasis on rural community. As a result, student youth, teachers and the community are considered as the three basic components of the National Service Scheme. And, the teachers and students contribute in the nation-building activity through community service.
