The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a Scheme of Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. The scheme was launched on September 24, 1969, by the then Union Education Minister Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao in 37 universities covering all States. Since then, 24 September has been designated as NSS Day commemorating its foundation.

As per the motto of the NSS – “NOT ME, BUT YOU” – an NSS volunteer is supposed to place the ‘Community’ before ‘Self’. NSS provides opportunity to the students of schools, colleges and universities of India to take part in community service programmes. NSS was introduced in academic institutions on a voluntary basis to establish a linkage between the Campus and the Community outside. The NSS scheme orients the students to develop a sense of social responsibility and help them grow individually and also as a group.
