SRM TRP Engineering College

Overview

The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a Central Sector Scheme under the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India. It provides opportunities for students in technical, undergraduate, and postgraduate institutions, to engage in community service activities. Since its inception in 1969, NSS has grown from 40,000 student volunteers to over 3.8 million by March 2018, involving numerous universities, colleges, and institutions across India.

NSS at SRM TRP Engineering College

With a sanctioned strength of 300 volunteers across three units—one funded by Anna University—the National Service Scheme (NSS) plays an active role in campus life. Participation is mandatory for first- and second-year students, who take part in social service activities, special campaigns, and camps following an orientation programme. Volunteers who complete two years of service receive a certificate from the University.

Through community work, NSS helps students build discipline, teamwork, and a sense of social responsibility. Nearby villages are adopted, and summer and winter camps of up to seven days bring volunteers together to spread awareness on cleanliness, education, healthcare, and self-reliance—giving students a meaningful way to serve society and the nation.
