The NSS has been introduced in this College since 1972 to promote national consciousness and to in-calculate a sense of social responsibility, discipline and dignity of labour among the students.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
- The specific objectives of NSS are
-
- To arouse the students social consciousness and provide opportunities. To work with and among the people

There are four NSS units in the college including one Girls unit and each unit consists of fifty students volunteers for a period of at least two years. Each volunteer has to choose one of the following groups.

There will be one special camp for all the above groups. Attendance in week-end camps and annual camps (75% attendance minimum) is obligatory. Certificates are issued to deserving volunteers.
SPECIAL CAMPING PROGRAMME:
- Special camping programmes are organized by the NSS preferably during long and short vacations in the rural community or adopted villages near the college or slums assigned to the college.
