NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME


The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a noble experiment in academic expansion. The overall aim of NSS is to give an extension dimension to the higher education system and orient the student youth to community service.

The main objective of the NSS are to understand the community in which they work, to identify the needs and problems of the community, to acquire leadership quality and democratic attitude, to promote national integration and social harmony and so on.

The NSS activities are divided into two groups – Regular Activity and Special Camping Programmes. Under Regular Activities, NSS volunteers undertake 120 hours various activities in adopted villages and slums 10 days Camping Programme are organized on various development issues of National importance.

At present there are 240 NSS units in the VHSE schools. The Directorate of VHSE won the State Award during 2003-2004.

The NSS wing has since initiated several innovative programmes like Echo School Programme, ‘Nammude Maram Pathathi’ Student Police Cadet Scheme, NSS Sureksha Bhavan, NSS Resource Group etc.
