NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME (NSS)
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a government – sponsored public service program conducted by the Department of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India. NSS was formally launched on 24th September 1969, the birth centenary year of the Father of the Nation and is celebrated every year as NSS Day with appropriate programmes and activities.
APJ AKTU NSS Cell has two technical Units in FISAT numbered with Unit No.104 & 568. Each technical cell has one Program Officer, two Volunteer Secretaries and 100 Student Volunteers. So a total of 200 Volunteers from second year & third year work for NSS with the Motto, “NOT ME, BUT YOU”. NSS is launched with primary focus on developing a sense of involvement in the task of National development through programs organized by students themselves & their personality development through community service. NSS volunteers work with villages, slums and voluntary agencies to complete 120 hours of regular activities during an academic year. An NSS volunteer is expected to remain in constant touch with the community, live with the members of the community and learn from their experiences.
