What is NSS (National Service Scheme)?

One day Camp

These are conducted on any current topics and needs of the society. For instance blood donation camps, cleanliness drives and various other awareness programs.

Seven days Camp

As the name suggests, it is conducted for a duration of seven days. Generally, conducted in the time frame of 9 AM to 5 PM. Mostly, involving fieldwork and activity sessions. Moreover, it has a great impact on the final certificate. Best volunteer, evergreen volunteer and rewards for each particular event are also awarded.
