National Service Scheme (NSS) 

National Service Scheme (NSS) is a noble academic extension programme envisioned at national level, with a view to bring our academic institutions closer to the society. It is an educational programme for personality development of the students through community service. The basic concept of National Service Scheme is to give an extended dimension to the Higher Education system and orient the students to community service while they are studying in an educational institution. This is to create social consciousness among students, by establishing a meaningful linkage between the campus and the community, especially the rural community. The cardinal principle of the programme is that it is organised by the students themselves and both students and teachers through their combined participation in social service, get a sense of involvement in the task of national development.

Various Eco-friendly activities conducted by the NSS include:

Pen Drive

The project Pen Drive was started on 24^th September 2019 with an aim of reducing plastic pens in the campus by reusing and refilling the used pens. Students can deposit their old pens in the basket placed in the College portico or baskets placed in their classes rather than throwing it into the soil. Most of the collected pen are reused and the remaining are used to make craft materials like pen stand, boats, curtains etc. or will be recycled.
