NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME
The National Service Scheme's (NSS) catchphrase is "Not Me, But You." This embodies what it means to live democratically and upholds the values of unselfish service, respect for another person's viewpoint, and compassion for other people. It emphasizes the fact that an individual's welfare ultimately depends on the welfare of society. The NSS should therefore strive to live up to this ethos through its daily activities.
Goals: Education through community service and community service through education.

1) To kindle the students’ social consciousness.
