Our NSS volunteers had done a commendable service since 2009 till date. Variety of regular activities such as HIV / AIDS awareness programmes, Blood donation camps, Health camps, Dental camps, Eye camps, tree plantation programme(Haritha Haram), Water harvesting pits, repairs to roads, pulse polio immunization and clean & green programmes, youth festival, Azadi Ka Amrith Mahostav(75yrs Independence)in the college premises, legal awareness, Environmental protection rallies, and other programmes have been undertaken by the volunteers under the leadership of Programme Officers. All the important days/celebrations organized befittingly by the NSS units under the juridiction of Mahatma Gandhi University.
In addition to this, a good number of NSS volunteers from our university have participated in various national level programmes such as National Integration Camps, National Adventure Training Camps, Pre- RD training camps, RGNIYD training programmes. I am happy to note that the NSS cell, MGU has successfully achieved the target of special camps for the fourth consecutive year. Almost 90% of the NSS Programme Officers of MGU are trained Programme Officers.
