NSS Overview
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a Central Sector Scheme of the Government of India under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, aimed at involving student youth in community service activities. It provides opportunities for college, university, and in some cases higher secondary students to gain practical experience while serving society. Inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, NSS was launched on September 24, 1969, by V. K. R. V. Rao during the Gandhi Centenary Year. The scheme has now expanded across all states and union territories of India, encouraging students to understand social issues, develop a sense of responsibility, and actively participate in the upliftment of communities. Overall, NSS aims to bridge the gap between education and society through the principle of learning by doing community service.

Motto
The Motto of NSS “Not Me But You”, reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds
the need for self-less service. NSS helps the students’ development & appreciation to other
person’s point of view and also show consideration towards other living beings. The
philosophy of the NSS is a good doctrine in this motto, which underlines on the belief that
the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society as a whole
and therefore, the NSS volunteers shall strive for the well-being of the society.
NSS Logo
The logo for the NSS has been based on the giant Rath Wheel of the world famous Konark
Sun Temple (The Black Pagoda) situated in Orissa, India. The Red & Blue colors contained
in the logo motivate the NSS Volunteers to be active & energetic for the nation-building
social activities. The wheel portrays the cycle of creation, preservation and release and
signifies the movement in life across time and space, The wheel thus stands for continuity as
well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social change.
