N.S.S. Basic Concepts:

The overall aim of National Service Scheme as envisaged earlier is to give an extension dimension to the higher education system and orient the student youth to community service while they are studying in educational institution. The reason for the formulation of this objective is the general realization that the college and +2 level students have a tendency to get alienated from the village / slum masses which constitute the majority of the population of the country. The educated youth who are expected to take the reins of administration in future are found to be unaware of the problems of the village / slum community and in certain cases are indifferent towards their needs and problems. Therefore it is necessary to arouse the social conscience of the students and to provide them an opportunity to work with the people in the village and slum dwellers will expose them to the realities of life and bring about a change in their social perception.
