"Not Me, But You"
The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a central sector scheme of the Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. At mLAC, the NSS unit is one of our most active and prestigious student bodies. The core objective of the NSS is to understand the community in which we work, identify its needs, and develop a deep sense of social and civic responsibility.
By exposing our young women to the realities of rural and underprivileged life, the NSS bridges the gap between the privileged campus environment and the grassroots of society. Our volunteers dedicate hundreds of hours to active community service, learning vital skills in mobilization, problem-solving, and democratic leadership along the way.
Our Core Objectives
The NSS unit operates with a clear, service-oriented mandate to empower both the student and the community:
- Civic Responsibility: To develop a profound sense of social and civic duty among students by identifying and actively addressing the needs of the community.
- Leadership & Teamwork: To promote democratic leadership, strong teamwork, and operational discipline through hands-on participation in service projects.
- National Integration: To encourage a lifelong spirit of volunteerism and national unity among the youth.
- Holistic Awareness: To create widespread public awareness regarding critical issues in health, hygiene, environmental sustainability, and social equity.
