NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME

National Service Scheme is a Government-sponsored public service program conducted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India. The National Service scheme of Emerald Heights College for Women was started in the year 1997 with one unit. At present we have two units with 200 volunteers who actively participate in social activities every year.

The Motto of the National Service Scheme is: “NOT ME BUT YOU”

This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society on the whole. The National Service Scheme is aimed to develop the personality of NSS volunteers through community service. The NSS undertakes regular activities for 120 hours and Annual Special Camp for 120 hours. The special camps are held annually, funded by the Government of India, and are organized in rural villages.

The NSS Units of the college are actively involved in community services. This helps volunteers to develop a sense of social and civic responsibilities, spirit of good citizenship, gain skill in mobilizing community participation, acquire leadership qualities, practice national integration and social harmony. The volunteers are involved in activities such as cleaning, environmental awareness, health awareness, social issues and sanitation etc.

The NSS Unit comprises of two Programme Officers and 200 volunteers (100 per unit)
