The unit has capacity of 200 volunteers and legacy of glorious past of 50 years with spectrum of achievements. The NSS is part of our academic, social and personal as it is third dimension of education. It allows the students to actively contribute their servicefor welfare of the community and the nation. Thus, helping them flourish their socio-cultural personality and develop the leadership qualities. As such the NSS is the right platform where the student-youth of the Nation may get to involve with real-life social activities and thereby become responsible citizen of India.
This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other person’s point of view and also to show consideration for a fellow human being. It underlines thatthe welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society on the whole.Therefore, it should be the aim of NSS to demonstrate this motto in its day-today programs.
The NSS symbol is based on the “Rath” wheel on Konark Sun Temple situated in Odisha. The Navy Blue colour indicated the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of the mankind. The Red in the badge indicated that the NSS volunteers are full of blood that is lively, active, energetic and full of high spirit. The giant wheels of Sun Temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and release, and signify the movement in life across time and space.
