Community Involvement
Our students will actively engage in community involvement through NSS camps, focusing on restoration activities. This dedicated involvement extends to the meticulous and thorough restoration of various elements, including ponds, temples, and kalyanis. This collaborative approach not only beautifies the surroundings but also instills a sense of civic duty and pride among the volunteers and the community they serve.
NSS (National Service Scheme) camps involves a collective effort to promote cleanliness and hygiene within a designated area. NSS volunteers actively participate in tasks such as sweeping, mopping, and clearing debris to maintain a clean environment. These cleaning initiatives extend beyond just physical cleanliness; they also include activities like waste segregation and proper disposal. The aim is to create a positive impact on the community by fostering a sense of responsibility towards cleanliness. Through their organized efforts, NSS camps contribute to the overall well-being of the community, promoting a clean and healthy living space for everyone involved.
