NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME (NSS)

National Service Scheme, under the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Govt. of India,  is a voluntary association of young people in Colleges, Universities and at +2 level which was launched in Gandhiji’s Centenary year, 1969  with a view to develop students’ personality through community service.  Two units of the National Service Scheme have been functioning in our college since 1972. The sanctioned strength of volunteers is 200 and the membership is open to both boys and girls. After successful completion of two years of service under the scheme, a volunteer is entitled a certificate issued by the Vice Chancellor, University of Kerala. The certificate enables the volunteer weightage for competitive examinations and in admission to higher studies. They are also eligible for grace marks (2% of III and IV semester total marks, which could be added to any of the respective semester papers).

The NSS symbol is embossed on the NSS badge. The NSS volunteers wear the badge while undertaking any programme of community service. NSS is ‘NOT ME BUT YOU.’ This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society on the whole. NSS volunteers demonstrate this motto by keeping our campus ‘Plastic Free’ since 2014-15.
