About NSS
The National Service Scheme was started to establish a meaningful linkage between the campus and the community. Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, had recognized that the country could not progress in a desired direction until the student youth were motivated to work for the upliftment of the community. For Gandhiji, the villages, where the majority of the population lived, represented the country, i.e. India. Therefore, for national reconstruction and national resurgence, it was deemed fit that the students and teachers should be properly sensitized and utilized for strengthening Indian society as a whole, with particular emphasis on the rural community. Therefore, student youth, teachers and the community are considered the three basic components of the National Service Scheme.
