The NSS was started in the Institute in the 1971-72 with the overall objective of motivating students to do service to the community while going through the students. the primary aim of the scheme is to enable the students to upgrade their personality while service to the community is a means throgh which it is achieved. In this scheme students get an opportunity to work with the people around the educational campus creatively and constructively. They put their education to practical use and to develop a sense of social responsibility. It also imbibes the dignity of labour in them.

There are two types of programmes undertaken by NSS:

1. Regular NSS Programmes:
Under this programme students undertake various activities in the adopted village, campus and urban slums during week ends or after college hours.
