In schools, NSS stands for the National Service Scheme, a government-led program that provides opportunities for students to participate in community service activities. Specifically, it is aimed at students in classes 11th and 12th, and those in technical institutions, graduate, and postgraduate programs. The NSS’s main goal is to give young students hands-on experience in delivering community service.
Key aspects of NSS in schools:
Community service: Students get the chance to engage in various community service activities, such as cleaning campaigns, awareness drives, and helping with local projects.
Social responsibility: NSS aims to instill a sense of social responsibility and community involvement in young students.
Experiential learning: The program provides a practical learning experience where students can apply their knowledge and skills in real-world situations.
Development of leadership skills: Participating in NSS can help students develop leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
Understanding of community needs: NSS helps students gain a better understanding of the needs and problems faced by communities, fostering empathy and awareness.
