National Service Scheme is a generous and value based programme for and of the youth. It is a programme for bringing into reality the dream of the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi, that the young generation of the country should become its great citizens and participate in the nation building activity through participation in rural development.
N.S.S. aims to develop the overall personality of the students by supplementing traditional education with opportunity to involve them closely in community service. It promotes ideals of friendship, co-operation, selfless service, secularism, equality, patriotism, and national integration.
The main objectives of National Service Scheme (NSS) are :

• To utilise their knowledge in finding practical solutions to individual and community problems.
• To develop competencies required for group-living and sharing of responsibilities.
• To acquire leadership qualities and democratic attitudes.
• To develop capacity to meet emergencies and natural disasters.
