ABOUT NSS (NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME) :

INTRODUCTION:
National Service Scheme was introduced in 1969 with the primary objective of developing
the personality and character of the student youth through voluntary community service.
“Education through service” is the purpose of NSS. The ideological orientation of NSS is
inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. Very appropriately, the motto of NSS is “NOT
ME, BUT YOU”. An NSS volunteer places the “community” before “self”.

OBJECTIVES OF NSS:
NSS aims at developing the following qualities / competencies among the volunteers:

(a) To understand the community in which the NSS volunteers work and to understand
themselves in relation to their community;
(b) To identify the needs and problems of the community and involve themselves in
problem solving exercise;
(c) To develop among themselves a sense of social and civic responsibility.
(d) To utilize their knowledge in finding practical solutions to individual and community
problems;
(e) To gain skills in mobilizing community participation;
(f) To acquire leadership qualities and democrat ic values;
(g) To develop capacities to meet emergencies and natural disasters; and
(h) To participate national integration and social harmony.
NSS attempts to establish meaningful linkages between “Campus and Community”, College
and Village” and “Knowledge and Action”.

VOTE OF THANKS AND FEEDBACK :

I am very much thankful to

NSS Prof. Dr Jagdish Solanki (NSS Programme Coordinator, Dean of Faculty of Social
work); and
Ankit Prajapati (Team Coordinator of NSS, M.S.University);
And further like to express my gratitude to entire team members of NSS for providing the
opportunity to students at a national level to showcase their talent.

I personally attended the Certification programme on Disaster Management jointly organised

by National Service Scheme (Unit of Faculty of Commerce and Faculty of Social work) on
19th August 2017 at Deep Auditorium , The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda,
Vadodara and personally and practically felt very useful for the society and community.

My support towards NSS will be always there for the upliftment and awareness of the
community and will take the programmes to the different community and National
organization levels.

I further wish NSS to come with more programmes for the upliftment of the students, society
and community as a whole.
