National Service Scheme (NSS) aims at developing the personality of volunteers through community service. It exposes them to situations which provide the volunteers an opportunity to have a closer look at human, social and environmental problems. They are trained to bring about a harmonious relationship among different sections of the society.

National Service Scheme (NSS) was launched during 1969, the birth centenary year of Mahatma Gandhi, in 37 universities involving 40000 students. NSS is an extension dimension to the higher education system to orient the student youth to community service while they are studying in educational institutions. It is being implemented by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India.

NSS volunteers work hard day and night to ensure that every one in our society who is needy gets every possible help from them so that they can also enhances their standards and lead a life of dignity in the society with all of us. In doing so the volunteers themselves learn a lot from the people in villages like how to struggle and how to lead a happy life in the extreme scarcity of resources. 

The Motto of NSS, "Not Me, But You", reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service. NSS helps the students develop appreciation for another person's point of view and also show consideration to other living beings. The philosophy of the NSS is well doctrine in this motto, which underlines the belief that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society on the whole and therefore, the NSS volunteers shall strive for the well-being of the society.

Students also learn about various life-essential skills while working towards improving people’s living standards, thereby fulfilling the aim of NSS of providing help to everyone in need. Active volunteers of NSS earn exposure and experience in becoming accomplished social leaders and efficient administrators.
