The National Service Scheme (NSS) is an Indian government public service program conducted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India. The scheme was launched in Gandhiji’s Centenary year, 1969. The basic principle of the NSS programme is to get a sense of involvement in the task of Nation Building. The programme aims to develop student’s personality through social service. It also aims to inculcate social welfare in students, and to understand their responsibility towards society and to provide service to society without any discrimination. NSS volunteers work so that everyone who is needy may get help. In doing so, volunteers learn from people in villages how to lead a good life despite a scarcity of resources.
NSS unit was established in Goel Institute of Higher Studies Mahavidyalaya in the Year -2011, with a rudimentary objective of providing a platform to the interested students to participate in social work, to help the community and national development. With it we have objectives to enable the students to understand the community in which they work, to identify the needs and problems of the community and the solution to them, to develop competence required for group living and sharing responsibilities, to acquire leadership qualities and democratic attitude and to encourage national integration and develop the capacity to meet emergencies and national disasters.
We have organized various social awareness programmes like health awareness, legal awareness, Swatch Bharat Mission, environmental awareness, awareness about social evils etc. We are also trying to create awareness on several serious social issues in nearby areas using board, banners, slogan, messages and images on ‘save water, save energy, use solar energy, waste management, sanitation, water & air pollution management, gender equity, save girl child, educate India, clean India and so on. NSS Volunteers with many faculty members conduct various programmes on the occasion of NSS day, youth day; Women’s Day ,teacher’s day, Children’s Day, voter’s day, and yoga day.
