<h3>About National Service Scheme(NSS)</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is an Indian government- sponsored public service program conducted by the
Department of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India. Popularly known as NSS, the scheme was
launched in Gandhiji’s Centenary year, 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 cardinal principle of the NSS programme is that it is organized by the
students themselves, and both students and teachers through their combined participation in community service,
get a sense of involvement in the tasks of nation building.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The post independence era was marked by an urge for introducing social service for students, both as a measure
of educational reform and as a means to improve the quality of educated man- power. The University Grants
Commission headed by Dr.Radhakrishnan recommended introduction of national service in the 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In India, the idea of involving students in the task of national service dates back to the times of Mahatma
Gandhi, the father of the nation. The central theme which he tried to impress upon his student audience time
and again, was that they should always keep before them, their social responsibility. The first duty of the
students should be, not to treat their period of study as one of the opportunities for indulgence in
intellectual luxury, but for preparing themselves for final dedication in the service of those who provided
the sinews of the nation with the national goods & services so essential to society. Advising them to form a
living contact with the community in whose midst their institution is located, he suggested that instead of
undertaking academic research about economic and social disability, the students should do “something positive
so that the life of the villagers might be raised to a higher material and moral level”.</p>
