The National Service Scheme (NSS) is an Indian government-sponsored public service program conducted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India. Popularly known as NSS, the scheme was launched in Gandhiji’s Centenary year in 1969. Aimed at developing student’s personality through community service, NSS is a voluntary association of young people in Colleges, Universities and at +2 level working for a campus-community (esp. Villages) linkage. In our college we have a NSS unit of strength 100 students, 50 students regular unit and 50 students self finance unit. For the academic year 2019-20 we are proposing the additional unit of 100 more students. Our NSS unit have been actively participating in various activities for community engagement viz Tree plantation, Pune-Pandharpur Palkhi campaign, Street act play on social themes.
The programme aims to instill the idea of social welfare in students, and to provide service to society without bias.
