National Service Scheme (NSS)

         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 to develop appreciation to other person’s point of view and also to show consideration to other living beings. The philosophy of the NSS is well reflected in this motto, which underlines the belief that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society on the whole and therefore, the NSS volunteers shall strive for the well-being of the society. Technical Education has sanctioned one unit of national service scheme to our college. Now we have one unit of NSS under the technical cell with a strength of 200 volunteers. The NSS unit of our college places an active role in shaping our students as humane and responsible citizens.

We are conducting special camping programmer of seven days duration in adopted places and it provides unique opportunities to the students for group living, collective experience sharing, sharing responsibilities, addressing various developmental issues of regional and national importance and constant interaction with the community.
