📘 About NSS

🌟 NSS was launched in Gandhiji’s Centenary year, 1969. It is aimed at developing students' personality through community service. NSS is a voluntary association of young people in Colleges, Universities, and at +2 levels working for a campus-community linkage.

The cardinal principle of the NSS programme is that it is organized by the students themselves, and both students and teachers, through their combined participation in community service, get a sense of involvement in the tasks of nation building.

🛡 NSS Motto

The motto or watchword of the National Service Scheme is ‘NOT ME BUT YOU’. This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service, appreciation of others' points of view, and consideration for fellow human beings.

It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society as a whole. Therefore, it should be the aim of the NSS to demonstrate this motto in its day-to-day programme.

📅 NSS Day

NSS was formally launched on 24th September, 1969, the birth centenary year of the Father of the Nation. Therefore, 24 September is celebrated every year as NSS Day with appropriate programmes and activities.
