NSS

National Service Scheme (NSS) is a voluntary organization founded on September 14, 2019 with the aim of sensitizing youths to the various social and environmental concerns of society and to establish a committed volunteer base to serve the society through various events both in and around the university campus.

NSS JIIT collaborates with various NGOs to further their mission of serving the society. At JIIT, there are 4 sanctioned units of NSS. These units are self-financed. Each unit consists of 100 volunteers. The student volunteers uphold the spirit of NSS: "Not Me, But You," by enthusiastically volunteering towards social service and working for the betterment of society. It underlines that the well-being of an individual ultimately depends on the welfare of society as a whole. This expresses the essence of democratic living and emphasizes the necessity for selfless service, appreciation of others' points of view, and showing consideration for fellow human beings.

The four areas in which it broadly renders its services are:

• Gyan Vigyan: This is a field of service wherein we deal with awareness and knowledge enhancement about science and technology. We have campaigns under which we offer services to educate underprivileged students through NGOs. The volunteers organize campus visits, online sessions, and face-to-face interactions to explain basic scientific concepts.
• Prakriti Aur Swasthya: Emphasizes the responsibility of taking good care of the environment and of people around us. NSS JIIT regularly conducts events on health, sanitation, hygiene, environment conservation, plantation drives, awareness on stubble burning, segregation of waste, and cleanliness drives to restore Prakriti and Swasthya.
• Lok Chetna: We aim to spread constructive awareness among the members of society. Events such as consumer rights awareness campaigns, voter awareness, Drug-Free India Campaign, women empowerment, road safety campaigns, and awareness on other social issues, rights, and responsibilities mark our efforts in creating Lok Chetna.
• Samvedna: Compassion towards fellow human beings. Compassion gives us the ability to understand someone else’s situation and the desire to take action to improve their lives. It is the quality that allows us to step outside of ourselves and see the circumstances of others. NSS organizes events like blood donation camps, menstrual hygiene awareness campaigns, donation drives, free medical camps, cultural and social interactions with special children as some of the drives that this wing undertakes to instill Samvedna in society among youths.
