The National Service Scheme (NSS) was established in 1969 with the primary goal of developing the character and personality of student youth through voluntary community service. It was initially launched in 37 universities, involving approximately 40,000 volunteers. However, over time and as a Pan-Indian program, the number of educational institutions covered by NSS has grown year after year. A potent and successful media initiative in the higher education system is the National Service Scheme. By involving students in a variety of activities, it offers community education. Through a range of programmes that include participants from many communities, NSS offers expertise and information to student volunteers. NSS activities aid in the development of a healthy student-community relationship for social development and consciousness. So, the investigator intends to study the practices of NSS for enhancing social commitment among undergraduate students in Kerala.
