National Service Scheme (NSS) was constituted in 1969,
the year which marks Mahatma Gandhi’s
100th Birthday, as a student youth service programme. It is an educational experiment in community
service which aims at involving under-graduate students on a voluntary basis in various activities of
social service and national development, students to understand and appreciate the problems of the
community, awaken social consciousness and inculcate in them a sense of dignity of labour. The
Motto of NSS “Not Me But You”, reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for
self-less service. NSS helps the students develop appreciation to other person’s point of view and also
show consideration to other living beings. The philosophy of the NSS is well reflected in this motto,
which underlines on the belief that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare
of the society on the whole and therefore, the NSS volunteers shall strive for the well-being of the
society.
