ABOUT NSS
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a student-centered program that operates in colleges and universities across India. The NSS aims to promote social awareness and community service among college students. It is a great platform for students to learn and develop leadership skills while contributing to society.
As a part of the NSS, college students can participate in a range of activities and programs that focus on community service, such as blood donation camps, health camps, tree plantation drives, and awareness campaigns on various social issues. NSS volunteers are also trained in disaster response and first aid, which enables them to serve their communities in times of need.
The NSS is a great opportunity for college students to develop a sense of social responsibility and contribute to the well-being of society. By participating in NSS activities, students can gain practical experience in community service, develop leadership skills, and make a positive impact on society.
Moreover, the NSS volunteers can also earn additional credits that can be added to their academic record, making it a great opportunity for those who want to pursue further studies or career opportunities in the social sector.
