BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The idea of involving students in the task of national service dates back to the times of Mahatma Gandhi who tried to impress upon his student audience that they should always keep before them their supreme responsibility. The first duty of the students should be to prepare themselves for final dedication to the service of the community on whose back they were resting and not to indulge in intellectual luxury. He advised them to form a living contact and exhorted them to do something positive so that the life of the village might be raised to higher material and moral levels.
The scheme has been so effective due to the fact that it is a low investment and high dividend scheme that special emphasis has been laid on NSS in the national policy. The scheme is not only useful but also essential for the full development of the personality of the students, particularly in the context of the campus situation in the country where besides purely academic work other opportunities for personality development are scarce expect the NCC and sports etc.
