National Service Scheme (NSS)
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a central scheme of the Government of India, under the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. It provides opportunities to student youth to participate in various community service activities and programmes. The primary objective of NSS is to provide students with hands-on experience in community service and encourage them to contribute meaningfully to society.
Since its inception in 1969, NSS has played an important role in engaging students in social service and community development. Through various initiatives, NSS encourages young people to develop a sense of social responsibility, leadership, empathy and civic awareness.
The NSS Badge Proud to Serve the Nation –
All the youth volunteers who opt to serve the nation through the NSS led community service wear the NSS badge with pride and a sense of responsibility towards helping needy.
The Konark wheel in the NSS badge having 8 bars signifies the 24 hours of a day, reminding the wearer to be ready for the service of the nation round the clock i.e. for 24 hours.
Red colour in the badge signifies energy and spirit displayed by the NSS volunteers.
The Blue colour signifies the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of the mankind.
