NSS aims at the involvement mainly of under-graduate students on a voluntary basis in various activities of social service and national development, which while making a contribution to socio-economic progress, would also provide opportunities to the students to understand and appreciate the problems of the community, awaken social consciousness and inculcate in them a sense of dignity of labour. There has been a great deal of enthusiasm among the students i9n the various programmes taken up under the scheme. At the same time, there has been a demand from several quarters that opportunities should be provided to the youth going out of the universities and colleges to engage themselves on a whole time basis for a specific period in activities of social and national service. Some attempts in this direction have been made in some States during the last few years |
