ACTIVITIES

sense of participation, service and achievement among the volunteers. The activities should
aim at the following:
- Making education more relevant to the present situation to meet the felt needs of the
community and supplement the education of the University/college students by
bringing them face to face with the rural situation.
- Providing opportunities to the students to play their role in planning and executing
development projects which not only help in creating durable community assets in
rural areas and urban slums but also results in the improvement of quality of life of
the economically and socially weaker sections of the community.
- Encouraging students and non-students to work together along with the adults in rural
areas.
- Developing qualities of leadership by discovering the latent potential among the
campers, both students as well as local youth (Rural and Urban) with a view to
involve them more intimately in the development programme and also to ensure
proper maintenance of the assets created during the camps.
- Emphasizing dignity of labour and self-help the need for combining physical work
with intellectual pursuits, and
- Encouraging youth to participate enthusiastically in the process of national development and promote national integration, through corporate living and cooperative action. While undertaking these activities, each NSS unit should envisage its programme/activities aimed at installing discipline, building character, promotion of physical fitness, and development of culture.
