The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a Central Scheme of Government of India under the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. It provides opportunity to the volunteers of college to take part in various government led community service activities & programmes. The aim of the NSS is to provide personality development and hands-on experience to young students in delivering community service. The motto of NSS “Not Me, But You”, reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service. Being an active member of NSS, the volunteers would have the exposure and experience to become an accomplished social leader, an efficient administrator and a person who understands human nature.

The NSS Badge Proud to Serve the Nation:

All the youth volunteers who opt to serve the nation through the NSS-led community service wear the NSS badge with pride and a sense of responsibility towards helping the needy.

The Konark wheel in the NSS badge having 8 bars signifies the 24 hours of the day, reminding the wearer to be ready for the service of the nation round the clock i.e. for 24 hours.

Red colour in the badge signifies energy and spirit displayed by the NSS volunteers.

The Blue colour signifies the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of mankind.

The College has two NSS units, one aided unit and other self-financing unit. The NSS unit of our college, with 200 volunteers, plays an active role in shaping our student humane and responsible citizens. We conduct a special camping programme of seven days duration in adopted places and it provides unique opportunities to students for group living. The various activities of the unit include blood donation, planting of trees, conducting awareness about anti-drug, road safety, covid-19 protocols, disease and health care, disaster management, personality development programmes, surveys for adopted villages, cleaning and other constructive activities.

We received a special appreciation from Sri. G. Sridhar, Regional Director of NSS(Kerala and Lakshadeep), Govt of India, in the presence of Vice Chancellor and Pro VC of APJAKTU for “Mapathon Keralam” Project in association with Kerala state IT Mission. We also received a state level appreciation award for coordinating Covid Warriors of NSS from Dr M.K Jayaraj, Vice Chancellor Calicut University.
