NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME (N.S.S.)
The National Sevice Sheme was started in 1967-70 with a view to promoting social consiousness and a sense of responsibility as well as a sense of discipline and dignity of labour among college students. The scheme utilizes the leisure time of students for 3 years of their college studies in various items of social service which not only help the community but also provides an oppurtunity to the students to appreciate the conditions prevalent in the community.The ultimate aim has been to develop the personality of studentes through community service.
Objective :
The overall objective of the National Service Scheme is the service to the community offered while undergoing instructions, in an educational institution. The primary aim of the scheme is to enable the students to upgrade their personality and experience through community service. This objective is sought to be achieved by enabling the student to
- Understand the community in which they work.
- Understand themselves in relation to their community.
- Identify the needs and problems in the community in the solution of which they can be involved.
- Develop among themselves a sense of social responsibility.
- Apply their education in finding practical solution to individual and community problems.
- Develop competence required for group living and sharing responsibilities.
- Gains skills in mobilising community participation.
- Acquire leadership qualities and democratic attitudes.
- Develop capacity to meet emergencies and natural disasters and
- Practise national integration.
The Motto :The motto watch word of the N.S.S. is "NOT ME BUT YOU". This express the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other man's point of view and also to show considerations for fellow human beings. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society as a whole.Therefore it should be the aim of the N.S.S. to demonstrate this motto in its day to day programme.
The scheme has brought N.S.S. students in direct contact with community problems and needs and development processes. Activities undertaken under N.S.S. have included environment enrichment and conservation, health, family welfare, nutrition programmes, programmes aimed at creating an awareness for improvement in the status of women, working hospitals and welfare institutions and production oriented work like soil testing and soil health care, promotion of co-operative societies, non formal education and assistance to local authorities in relief and rehabilitation work during natural calamities and natural emergencies. Other activities have also been undertaken keeping in view the local needs and priorities. Special camping programmes organized under N.S.S. during vacations have resulted in creation of many durable community assets where sufficiently integrated, N.S.S. has helped to make the academic programmes more relevant and linked with community.
The Symbol :
The symbol of the N.S.S. is based on the "RATH" wheel of the Konark Sun Temple of Orissa. These giant wheels of th esun temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and relief, and signify the movement in life across time and space.The design of the symbol,a simplified form of the sun-chariot wheel, primarily depicts movement. The wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life .It stands for continuity as well as change and implies on the part of the N.S.S. for the continuous striving forward for social transformation and upliftment.
