The Major aim of the National Service Scheme is the development of the personality of students through community service. It provides an extension dimension to the higher education system and orients the student youth to community service while they study in an educational institution as envisaged by Mahatma Gandhi, the ‘Acharya’ of the National Service Scheme.

A student volunteer who has completed 240 Hrs of work, and attended a special camp during the course of two years, is eligible for N.S.S. certificate from the Mahatma Gandhi University.
