The I & II year undergraduate students are the volunteers who work for the welfare of the nation under Part V activities of our college. National Service Scheme (NSS) aims to develop the service – oriented mind in young generation. Every year NSS – Day is celebrated on 24th October. The service rendered to the society includes conducting various camps like veterinary camp, eye camp, free medical camp, introducing new self-help groups, helping rural children in their learning etc.
“Development of the personality of students through community services”
- Understand the community in which they work.
- Understand themselves in relation to their community.
- Identify the needs and problems of the community and involve them in problem solving.
- Develop among themselves a sense of social and civic responsibility.
- Utilize their knowledge in finding practical solutions to individual and community problems.
- Develop competence required for group-living and sharing of responsibilities.
- Gain skills in mobilizing community participation.
- Acquire leadership qualities and democratic attitudes.
- Develop capacity to meet emergencies and natural disasters.
- Practice national integration and social harmony.
The motto or watch word of the national service scheme is “NOT ME BUT YOU”. This expresses the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other man’s point of view. It also shows consideration for fellow human beings. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society as a whole.
The symbol is based on the “Rath” wheel of the Konark sun temple situated in Orissa. The giant wheel portrays the cycle of life with creation, preservation and release. It signifies the movement of life with time and space. The symbol stands for continuity as well as change and the continuous striving of NSS for social transformation and the alertness and readiness of the NSS volunteers all the time for the substantial goodness of the society and for the benefit of others.
The NSS Symbol is embossed on the badge. The wheel on the badge has eight bars, which represents 24 hours of the day. Hence the badge reminds the wearer to be in readiness for service of the Nation round the clock i.e. for 24 hours. The red colour in the badge indicates that the NSS Volunteers are full of blood, i.e., lively, active and spirited. The Navy blue colour indicates the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part ready to contribute its share for welfare of the mankind. The NSS volunteers should wear the badge while doing social services.
Any students enrolled as NSS volunteer should put in at least 120 hours of social work in a year for a continuous period of two year; i.e. 240 hours in two years on different programmes. She should participate fully in the NSS programmes and should be fully conversant with the objectives of the NSS.
