National Service Scheme (NSS) is an Indian government-sponsored public service
program conducted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India.
The first education commission (1950) recommended the introduction of national service
by students on a voluntary basis. NSS was launched during 1969, the birth centenary year
of Mahatma Gandhi, in 37 universities involving 40000 students. NSS is an extension
dimension to the higher education system to orient the student youth to community
service while they are studying in educational institutions.
