Introduction

'Education through Service' is the purpose of the NSS. The ideological orientation of the NSS is inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. Since then NSS has been functioning as a regular feature in the realm of our university education.

It is a student-centered program in which projects are implemented by the NSS volunteers in the community in close collaboration with the community and thereby it provides vast scope for the student's interaction with the people. the motto of NSS is “NOT ME, BUT YOU”.
