National Service Scheme (NSS) :

Ever since Independence, there has been growing awareness of the desirability of involving students in National Service. The first education commission in 1950 recommended the introduction of national service by students on a voluntary basis. Subsequently, on the basis of suggestion made by the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, a committee was appointed under the chairmanship of Dr. C D Deshmukh to prepare a scheme for compulsory national service by students prior to admission for degree courses.

NSS Symbol & Badge :

The symbol of NSS is based on Rath wheel of Konark Sun Temple of Orissa. These giant wheels of the sun temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and release and signify the movement in life across the time and space. The NSS symbol is embossed on NSS badge.
