NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME

ABOUT NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME

                                National Service Scheme (NSS) was formally launched on 24th September 1969, the birth Centenary year of Father of Nation Sri M. K. Gandhi. NSS  is  a  permanent  youth  programme  under  the  Ministry  of  Youth  Affairs  and  Sports,  Government  of  India  and  funded  by  Government  of  Tamilnadu  and  Government  of  India  in  the  ratio  5:7. The activities of NSS mainly focused on Technology transfer to rural mass and help the rural youth for creating job opportunities, through conducting different types of training programmes. These kinds of activities in turn benefit the NSS volunteers in the scopes of job opportunities, self-confidence, leadership quality etc.

                                The theme followed by the Government of India for the NSS activities to be carried out every year is “Healthy Youth for Health India” and the motto or watchword of the NSS is “Not me but you”. It  underlines  that  the  welfare  of  an  individual  is  ultimately  dependent  on  the  welfare  of  society  on the whole. This  expresses  the  essence  of  democratic  living  and  upholds  the  need  of  selfless  service  and  appreciation  of  the  other  man’s  point  of  view  and  also  consideration  for  fellow  human  beings.
