NSS volunteers work to ensure everyone who is needy gets help to enhance their standard of living and lead a life of dignity.
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is an Indian government-sponsored public service program conducted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Popularly known as NSS, the scheme was launched in Gandhiji's Centenary year in 1969.
Aimed at developing student's personality through community service, NSS is a voluntary association of young people in colleges, universities and at +2 level working for a campus-community linkage. The programme aims to instill the idea of social welfare in students, and to provide service to society without bias.
At national level, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports is the nodal authority, which works with state-level NSS cells. Within states, each university has a university-level NSS cell under which institution-based NSS units operate. A unit typically comprises 100 students.
The NSS Symbol
The Rath Wheel
Based on the giant Rath Wheel of the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha. The eight bars represent 24 hours of a day. The red colour indicates the volunteer is full of young blood — lively, active, and energetic. The navy blue indicates the cosmos of which NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of mankind.
The Motto
Not Me But You
The essence of democratic living — upholding the welfare of others above self.
To build a socially conscious youth force committed to national development and community welfare.
To instill the idea of social welfare through community service and provide help without bias.
Since 1969, NSS volunteers earn a certificate signed by the Vice-Chancellor after 240 hours of service.
