       NSS:  HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

 Since the dawn of independence, there has always been an endeavour  for enhancing the desirability of pulling the students in the national service. It is pertinent to note that the First Education Commission set up in the year of 1950, made recommendation for the introduction of National Service by students on a voluntary basis. The National Service Scheme got a sharp turning with the setting up of a Committee under the chairmanship of C.D.Desmukh which was set to prepare a scheme for compulsory national service by students, on the recommendation of Pandit Nehru.

 

                  MOTTO OF NSS.

      The motto of NSS is NOT ME BUT YOU.

About the NSS of this University

 National Service Scheme has been introduced at the University of North Bengal since 1982. It was introduced as a complement to the academic programmes of the University. It has become a part and parcel of the academic system . The major objective ever since has been to involve the students in the society of which they are an integral part. 
The entire programme of the NSS revolves round the students wherein the NSS volunteers put the students in a single thread in order to implement the NSS objectives. NSS is a challenging medium for functioning amongst the downtrodden section of the society.
