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, recognized that the country could not progress in the desired direction until the student youth were motivated to work for the upliftment of the villages/community. For Gandhi ji the villages, where the majority of the population lived, represent the country i.e. India. Therefore,  for the national reconstruction and national resurgence, it was deemed fit that the students and teachers should be properly sensitized and utilized for strengthening the Indian society as a whole with particular emphasis on the rural community. Therefore, the University Grants Commission headed by Dr. Radha Krishnan recommended the introduction of national service in academic  institutions on a  voluntary basis with  a view to  developing healthy contacts between the students and teachers on the one hand and establishing a constructive linkage between the campus and the community on the other hand. The student youth, teachers, and the community are considered the three basic components of the National Service Scheme.

The Motto

The motto or watchword of the National Service Scheme is ‘NOT ME BUT YOU’. This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other person’s point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society as a whole. Therefore, it should be the aim of the NSS to demonstrate this motto in its day-to-day program.

NSS Symbol

The symbol of the National Service Scheme, as appearing on the cover page of this Manual is based on the  ‘Rath’  wheel of the Konark Sun Temple situated in Orissa. These giant wheels of the Sun Temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation, and release, and signify the movement in life across time and space. The design of the symbol, a simplified form of the Sun-chariot wheel primarily depicts movement. The wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life. It stands for continuity as well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social transformation and upliftment.
