The overall aim of National Service Scheme is to give an extension dimension to the higher education system and orient the student youth to community service while they are studying in educational institutions. The reason for the formulation of this objective is the general realization that the college students have a tendency to get alienated from the village/slum masses which constitute the majority of the population of the country. The educated youth who are expected to take the reins of administration in future are found to be unaware of the problems of the village/slum community and in certain cases are indifferent towards their needs and problems. Therefore, it is necessary to arouse the social conscience of the students, and to provide them an opportunity to work with the people in the villages and slums. It is felt that their interaction with the common villagers and slum dwellers will expose them to the realities of life and bring about a change in their social perception. Kumbhalkar College of Social Work Wardha was established in the year 1993 and the unit of National Service Scheme was started in the college from this year itself. The name of the college is highlighted as active National Service Scheme College by participation of students of the college in various state level camps.
The broad objectives of NSS are to:
(i) Understand the community in which they work
(ii) Understand themselves in relation to their community
(iii) Identify the needs and problems of the community and involve them in problem solving process
(iv) Develop among themselves a sense of social and civic responsibility
(v) Utilize their knowledge in finding practical solutions to individual and community problems
(vi) Develop competence required for group living and sharing of responsibilities
(vii) Gain skills in mobilizing community participation
(viii) Acquire leadership qualities and democratic attitude
(ix) Develop capacity to meet emergencies and natural disasters
(x) Practice national integration and social harmony.
The motto or watchword of the National Service Scheme is: 'NOT ME BUT YOU'. This reflects
the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other
person's point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings. . It underlines that the
welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society as a whole. Therefore, it should
be the aim of the NSS to demonstrate this motto in its day-to-day programme. The NSS Wing of the
college strives to provide hands on experience to young students in delivering community service,
thereby, enhancing the volunteers holistically in all spheres of development.
It also motivates NSS Volunteers for continuing their selfless service towards community work.
The volunteers imbibe and inculcate the motto of National Service Scheme, “Not me but you”
