NSS Mission
The Mission of NSS “Not Me But You” is a terse expression. On face it appears to be very simple and short. But behind it lies a lot of meaning. It is very deep and suggestive and is keeping with the spirit of service for others.
The expression stands for two things:
Forgetting and surrendering the self, and Rendering selfless service to others.
The word ‘Not’ before ‘Me’ is to reduce the self to nothing and the Word ‘But’ before ‘You’ can be expanded as follows: -
“I do not live for me but for you.”“The world is not only for me but to you also.”
NSS attempts to establish meaningful linkages between "Campus and Community", "College and Village" and "Knowledge and Action".
NSS Symbol
The symbol of the National Service Scheme, as appearing on the cover page of this Manual is based on the ‘Rath’ wheel of the ‘Konark’ Sun Temple situated in Orissa. These giant wheels of the Sun Temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and release, and signify the movement in life across time and space. The design of the symbol, a simplified form of the Sun-chariot wheel primarily depicts movement. The wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life. It stands for continuity as well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social transformation and upliftment.
NSS Badge
The NSS symbol is embossed on the NSS badge. The NSS volunteers wear it while undertaking any programme of community service.
- The Konark wheel in the NSS badge having 8 bars signifies the 24 hours of the day, reminding the wearer to be ready for the service of the nation round the clock i.e. for 24 hours.
- The Red color in the badge signifies energy and spirit displayed by the NSS volunteers.
- The Blue color signifies the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of the mankind.
NSS Day
NSS was formally launched on 24th September, 1969, the birth centenary year of the Father of the Nation. Therefore, 24 September is celebrated every year as NSS Day with appropriate programmes and activities.
