Imphal, Sep 22 : The 24th September, 2013 is’ the 44th Foundation Day of the National Service Scheme (NSS). It is a DAY to be remembered and observed by all the NSS functionaries. All the NSS functionaries of the state are asked to observe the day making it mandatory. From this year onwards, the NSS Cell, Manipur University has decided to carry out a number of NSS related activities collaborating with a number of NSS functionaries of the State by observing NSS WEEK w.e.f.24th September-30th September. NSS matters, in some institutions of the state, are found to be neglected. Even some of the Programme Officers of the different NSS Units could not carry out NSS activities because of many reasons. They are found to be assigned additional responsibilities by the authority of the concerned Institute also other than
NSS. If we observe for a week, NSS Units can carry out some activities either of the day during the week. The significance of the NSS in the society needs to be made known to the student volunteers, community and adopted villages. During the Week, as such, NSS Units can do something for the betterment of the society. In fact there is no area in which NSS cannot be a part of it. Mass Tree Plantation as a part of the Mission GO GREEN, an Initiative of the NSS Cell,MU , Sanitation Programmes, Campus Cleaning, Basic Philosophy on NSS, Special Camping Programmes, Blood Donation Camp, Vivekananda Lecture Series, Life Skill Training, First Aid Training Camp, Awareness Programmes on Disaster Management, etc are expected to carry out by the NSS functionaries during the Week.
The service rendered by the NSS volunteers is not for the sake of volunteers only. NSS is a Social Service for the cause of the welfare of the society. Our NSS volunteers have to go a long way to bring peace, communal harmony, all round development in the society. The role of the youth of the country which constitute almost 40% of the total population of the same need to be rejuvenated in different aspects so as to contribute in the nation building process. This can be done by rendering community development service through a number of activities.
