National Service Scheme (NSS):-

The aim of true education is to teach a man to live not only for him but also for others. It is necessary for him to learn, to identify himself with a larger life of the community – especially with the less fortunate section.

Radhakrishnan Commission, the first Education Commission after independence, recommended introduction of National Service in the academic institutions on a voluntary basis with a view to developing healthy contacts between the campus and the community. In 1960, at the insistence of Govt. of India, professor K.G. Saiyidain after studying National Service by students of other countries, submitted a report ‘National Service for the Youth’, which recommended the introduction of National Service Scheme (NSS) on a voluntary basis.

In view of the above, NSS unit of Vivekananda College for Women was always responsive to community development since 1978 and the students and teachers have actively participated in different community orientation programs. A unique step towards community development was taken in the form of Village Adoption by the NSS unit of the college in 1978 to 1985 under the able guidance of our respected senior teachers. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the NSS unit of the College had been inactive till 2002. After revival of the unit in 2002-2003, there was no looking back and the NSS unit of the College has been working with full vigour and mirth.

The NSS unit attached to our College (Vivekananda College for Women) undertakes programmes of different varieties to satisfy the needs of the College and locality and at the same time to involve the young NSS volunteers in solving problems of different dimensions. The following are a few of the regular activities that highlight the achievements of NSS of our college –

We hope that our NSS unit will march ahead devoting themselves to the enrichment of the community.
