The motto of the National Service Scheme (N.S.S.) is "Not Me, Not
You, But We". This expresses the essence of democratic living and
upholds the need for selfless services and appreciation of another
man's point of view and also show consideration for fellow human
beings. It underlines the welfare of an individual is ultimately
dependent on the welfare of the society as a whole.Therefore it
should be the aim of the N.S.S. to demonstrate this motto in its
day-to-day activities.
The main aim of National Service Scheme is personality development
through social service or community service. This programme is to
inculcate the social welfare thoughts in the students, and to
provide service to the society without any prejudice. NSS volunteers
work hard day and night to ensure that every one in our society who
is needy gets the every possible help from them so that they can
also enhance their standards and lead a life of dignity in the
society with all of us. In doing so the volunteers themselves learn
a lot from the people in villages like how to struggle and how to
lead a happy life in the extreme scarcity of resources and so on.
Another aim is personality development through social service.
After the independence, the University Grants Commission headed by
Dr. S. Radhakrishnan recommended introduction of national service in
the academic institutions on a voluntary basis. This idea was again
considered by the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) at its
meeting held in January, 1950 and after examining the various
aspects of this idea and the experiences of other countries
in this field, the Board recommended that students should devote
some time to manual work on a voluntary basis and that the teachers
should also associate with them in such work. In the draft First
Five year Plan adopted by the Government of India in 1952, the need
for social and labour service for the students of India for one year
was stressed. In 1958, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in his letter to the
Chief Ministers mooted the idea of having social service as a
prerequisite for graduation. He also directed the Ministry of
Education to formulate a suitable
scheme for introduction of national service into the academic
institutions.
In 1959, a draft outline of this scheme was placed before the
conference of the Education Ministers of the States. The Conference
agreed upon the urgent need for trying out a workable scheme for
national service and suggested the appointment of a committee to
work out details of the proposed pilot project. As a result, a
National Service Committee was appointed under the Chairmanship of
Dr. C.D. Deshmukh on 28 August 1959 to make concrete suggestions in
this direction. The committee recommended for introduction of
national service for a period of nine months to a year. The
recommendation of the Committee was not accepted because of its
financial implications and difficulties in implementation.
In 1960, Government of India appointed K.G. Saiyidain to study about
how the national service by students implemented in several
countries of the world. He submitted his report under the title
"National Service for the Youth" to the Government with a number of
recommendations to develop a feasible scheme of social service by
students in India. Later, the Education Commission headed by Dr.
D.S. Kothari (1964–66) recommended that students at every stage of
education should be associated with some form of social service.
This was taken into account by the Education Ministers of the States
during their conference in April 1967 and they recommended that the
students at the university stage could join the National Cadet Corps
(NCC) which was already in existence on a voluntary basis and an
alternative to this could be offered to them in the form of a new
programme, named the National Service Scheme (NSS). Promising sports
persons, however, should be exempted from both and allowed to join
another scheme called the National Sports Organisation (NSO). The
Vice Chancellors' Conference in September, 1969 welcomed this
recommendation and suggested that a special committee of Vice
Chancellors could be set up to examine this question in detail. In
the statement of national policy on education of the Government of
India, it was laid down that work experience and national service
should be an integral part of education. In May 1969, a conference
of the students' representatives of the universities and
institutions of higher education convened by the Ministry of
Education and the University Grants Commission also unanimously
opined that the national service scheme could be a powerful
instrument for national integration. The details were soon worked
out and finally the Planning Commission sanctioned an outlay of Rs.
5 crores for National Service Scheme (NSS) during the Fourth Five
Year Plan period. It was stipulated that the NSS programme should be
started as a pilot project in select institutions and universities.
On 24 September 1969, the then Union Education Minister Dr. V.K.R.V.
Rao launched the National Service Scheme in 37 universities covering
all States. At present, the scheme has been extended to all the
states and universities in the country and also covers +2 level
learning institutes in many states.
