The document provides details about the National Service Scheme (NSS) in India. It was launched in 1969 by the Indian government to involve students in community service activities and promote ideals of nationalism. The NSS operates in colleges and universities with the goal of providing volunteers for social welfare activities and helping those in need. It also aims to develop leadership skills in students and provide assistance during natural disasters. The symbol of the NSS is based on the wheel of the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha to represent continuity and change. The motto of the NSS is "Not Me, Not You, But We" to reflect democratic values and service to society.
