Overview

The National Service Scheme (NSS) endeavours to foster positive societal change, prioritizing education and uplifting the underprivileged, while also championing environmental conservation and sustainability.
NSS volunteers dedicate themselves to ensuring that those in need receive support to improve their quality of life and uphold their dignity. This student-driven program serves as a platform for community service, responding to societal needs as they arise and facilitating meaningful engagement between students and society. Through active participation, volunteers gain valuable communication skills, interact with diverse communities, and acquire both practical and interpersonal proficiencies.

At its core, NSS aims to instil values of patriotism, national unity, camaraderie, social welfare, and communal harmony among its volunteers, fostering a sense of collective responsibility towards building a better society.
