The National Service Scheme (NSS) at NGM College is a vibrant student-centered program that embodies the motto “Not Me, But You.” It serves as a bridge between the institution and the community, instilling a sense of social responsibility and democratic living in our students.

๐Ÿค Student Life: National Service Scheme (NSS)

Introduction

The NSS units at NGM College are dedicated to the personality development of students through community service. By engaging with rural and underprivileged sections of society, our volunteers gain a practical understanding of social issues and develop the skills necessary to lead and mobilize communities toward positive change.

Description

The college currently hosts multiple NSS units, each led by a dedicated Program Officer. The scheme is integrated into the academic framework, allowing volunteers to earn credits while contributing to national nation-building efforts.

๐ŸŒŸ Core Focus Areas

1. Village Adoption & Rural Development

Each unit adopts a nearby village for a period of three to five years. Volunteers conduct surveys to identify local needs and organize:

  • Literacy Drives: Adult education and remedial coaching for school children.

  • Health & Hygiene: Awareness programs on sanitation, clean drinking water, and seasonal disease prevention.

  • Digital Literacy: Teaching rural residents how to use digital payment systems and government portals.

2. Environment & Sustainability

  • Massive Tree Plantation: Regular “Green Campus” and “Green Village” initiatives.

  • Plastic-Free Awareness: Rallies and workshops to discourage the use of single-use plastics.

  • Water Conservation: Constructing rain-water harvesting structures and cleaning local water bodies.

๐Ÿ“… Annual Special Camping Program

Every year, a 7-day Special Residential Camp is organized in the adopted villages.

  • Manual Work: Infrastructure repair, white-washing of schools, and clearing of community pathways.

  • Specialist Camps: Eye camps, dental check-ups, and veterinary camps organized in collaboration with local hospitals.

  • Cultural Exchange: Evening programs where volunteers and villagers showcase traditional arts.

๐Ÿ† Benefits for Volunteers

  • NSS Certificate: Issued to students who complete 240 hours of regular social service and participate in at least one special camp.

  • Academic Weightage: Preference in higher education admissions and government jobs as per State/University norms.

  • Leadership Opportunities: Participation in National Adventure Camps and the Pre-Republic Day Parade (Pre-RD).
