NSS
The National Service Scheme (NSS), a Central Sector Programme introduced by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in 1969, fosters voluntary service, leadership, and commitment to society in students, allowing them to gain practical social experience while completing their education.
Motto: “Not Me; But You”
More than a saying, this profound motto actively cultivates selfless service and strengthens key societal pillars like social responsibility, democratic values, and communal harmony.
