What is NSS?
The National Service Scheme is an Indian government sector public service program conducted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India. Popularly known as NSS, it is a voluntary program under which young students from colleges, universitiesand 10+2 level, work towards creating a campus-community linkage.
Moto of NSS ….
National Service Scheme (NSS) was introduced in 1969 with the primary objective of developing the personality and character of the student youth through voluntary community service. ‘Education through Service’ is the purpose of the NSS. Very appropriately, the motto of NSS is “NOT ME, BUT YOU”. An NSS volunteer places the ‘community’ before ‘self’.More appropriately, a national volunteer can help anybody at anywhere in India by simply joining with the hands of NSS.
