NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME

National Service Scheme (NSS) has been introduced at Savitribai Phule Pune University in 1969 as a part of the academic programs and since then NSS has been functioning as a regular feature in the realm of university education. The overall objective of the scheme is educational extension and service to the community. It is a student-centered program in which projects are implemented by the NSS volunteers in the community in close collaboration with the community and thereby it provides vast scope to the student's interaction with the people and society.

At MIT Arts, Commerce and Science College, this programme is to inculcate the social welfare thoughts amongst the students and to provide service to the society without any prejudice and overall personality development through social service.

NSS volunteers work hard day and night to ensure that everyone in our society who is needy gets every possible help from them so that they can also enhance their standards and lead a life of dignity in the society with all of us. The volunteers themselves learn a lot from the people in villages and community through various activities.

Most of the Government and Government departments implement various types of schemes and plans through NSS volunteers as a channel to reach upto the end stakeholder and hence students get the opportunity to be in touch of the current issues.

These activities are conducted by college through NSS volunteers and NSS Programme Officer under guidance of Principal.

Special residential camps are conducted every year in adopted village to understand the rural socio economic issues. The camp is usually located in a rural village or in the suburbs.
