National Service Scheme, popularly known as NSS, is a student-centred programme that was launched
in 1969, henceforth creating a link between the campus and community, the college and village,
knowledge and action. The overall aim of NSS is the Personality Development of students through
community service. It aims at inculcating amongst the volunteers a spirit of team-work, service
to the community and character building that ultimately leads to the development of their
personality. The motto of NSS 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.
Our Vision

good doctrine in this motto, which underlines on the belief that the welfare of an individual is
ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society as a whole and therefore, the NSS volunteers

Our Mission
NSS Logo: The logo for the NSS has been based on the giant Rath Wheel of the world famous Konark
Sun Temple (The Black Pagoda) situated in Orissa, India. The Red & Blue colors contained in the
logo motivate the NSS Volunteers to be active & energetic for the nation-building social
activities. The wheel portrays the cycle of creation, preservation and release and signifies the
movement in life across time and space, The wheel thus stands for continuity as well as change
and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social change.
