College Profile
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a flagship youth development program launched by the Government of India in 1969, with the primary objective of developing the personality of students through community service. Inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, NSS encourages students to actively participate in nation-building activities and social welfare programs. It provides a platform for students in colleges and universities to engage in voluntary service, promoting values like social responsibility, leadership, and teamwork. NSS activities include community development, environmental protection, health awareness, and disaster management. The motto of NSS, “Not Me, But You,” reflects the spirit of selfless service and concern for others. Through regular activities and special camps, NSS helps students understand the needs of society and work towards inclusive growth. Overall, NSS plays a vital role in shaping socially responsible and committed citizens.
The NSS symbol is inspired by the giant 24-spoked wheel of the
Konark Sun Temple in Odisha. It represents the eternal cycle
of creation, preservation, and release, reflecting the continuous
movement of life and society. The rotating wheel signifies progress
and dynamic change.
The symbol is designed in red

symbolizing energy, vitality, and the spirit of service towards social upliftment.
