Programme & Activities

Activities of NSS Volunteers and Adoption of Village

NSS volunteers generally work with villages, slums and voluntary agencies to complete 120 hours of regular activities during an academic year. As per the fundamental principles of National Service Scheme, a volunteer is expected to remain in constant touch with the community. Hence, it is of vital importance that a particular village/slum is selected for implementation of NSS programmes. As the NSS volunteer is to live with the members of the community and learn from their experience during his/her tenure in NSS, the village/slum should be carefully selected for adoption by NSS unit.
The Activities under NSS are two-fold, viz.

Regular activities, which are undertaken during the working days of the semester, and
Special Camping activities for 07 days duration in the adopted village/urban slum during vacation.
