NSS

National Service Scheme, popularly known as NSS, is a student-centered programme that was launched in 1969, henceforth creating a link between the campus and community, the college and village, knowledge and action. The overall aim of NSS is the Personality Development of students through community service. It aims at inculcating amongst the volunteers a spirit of team-work, service to the community and character building that ultimately leads to the development of their personality. The motto of NSS is ‘Not Me; But You’. This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other person’s point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings.

The National Service Scheme (NSS) at Mannaniya College is a vibrant platform for students to engage in community service and social outreach. Under the guidance of dedicated programme officers, NSS organizes various initiatives such as blood donation drives, cleanliness campaigns, day observances, special camps, flash mobs, awareness programmes, anti drug campaigns and educational programs in nearby villages and underserved communities. The aim is to instill a sense of social responsibility and citizenship among students while addressing local needs and fostering sustainable development.
