National
Service Scheme (NSS)
National
Service Scheme was born in 1969-70 marking the centenary
celebration of the birth of the father of our nation
Mahathma Gandhi. It was started on an experimental basis
in 37 Universities and 3 institutions of higher learning
covering about 40,000 students. Now the scheme has been
able to involve a large number of students in many programs
of social service activities.
In
the year 1971, NSS scheme began to function in the undevided
University of Kerala. Union Christian College was one
of its first units with 100 volunteers. It provides
the students opportunities to spend their leisure time
in service of the nation. It is the education through
community service in order to develop an awareness and
knowledge of the social reality, and to have concern
for the well being of the community. “The NSS seeks
to correct the phenomenon of seclusion of education
from the society by exposing the student community to
the realities of the society and around the college
campus. It provides the studies a wide range of opportunities
to study the society in the panorama of a wide “laboratory””.
In
1985-86, the NSS Unit of U.C.College has been adjudged
to be the BEST UNIT of 1985-86. The unit is now continuing
its activities such as village adoption, nature activities,
Sramadans, Blood donation camps, and cleanliness awareness
survey.
