National Service Scheme INTRODUCTION National Service Scheme (NSS) was introduced in 1969 with the primary objective of developing the personality and character of the student youth through voluntary community service. Education through Service is the purpose of the NSS. The ideological orientation of the NSS is inspired by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi. Very appropriately, the motto of NSS is NOT ME, BUT YOU. An NSS volunteer places the community before self. The National Service Scheme (NSS), has been in operation in Parala Maharaja Engineering College since October 15 th 2015. The basic objective of the NSS is to arouse and enrich the social consciousness of students. The scheme is intended to provide an opportunity to students to engage in constructive social action, programmes, develop co-operative team spirit and gain skills in democratic leadership quality. The Unit has been organizing various activities related to social problems.
