After the independence, the [[University Grants Commission (India)|University Grants Commission]] headed by Dr. [[S. Radhakrishnan]] recommended introduction of national service in the academic institutions on a voluntary basis. This idea was again considered by the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) at its meeting held in January, 1950 and after examining the various aspects of this idea and the experiences of other countries in this field, the Board recommended that students should devote some time to manual work on a voluntary basis and that the teachers should also associate with them in such work. In the draft First Five year Plan adopted by the Government of India in 1952, the need for social and labour service for the students of India for one year was stressed. In 1958, [[Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru]] in his letter to the Chief Ministers mooted the idea of having social service as a prerequisite for graduation. He also directed the Ministry of Education to formulate a suitable scheme for introduction of national service into the academic institutions<ref name=NSS>[http://nss.nic.in/intro.asp NSS website – Introduction]</ref>. |

In 1959, a draft outline of this scheme was placed before the conference of the Education Ministers of the States. The Conference agreed upon the urgent need for trying out a workable scheme for national service and suggested the appointment of a committee to work out details of the proposed pilot project. As a result, a National Service Committee was appointed under the Chairmanship of Dr. [[C.D. Deshmukh]] on 28 August 1959 to make concrete suggestions in this direction. The committee recommended for introduction of national service for a period of nine months to a year. The recommendation of the Committee was not accepted because of its financial implications and difficulties in implementation<ref name="NSS"/>. |

In 1960, Government of India appointed K.G. Saiyidain to study about how the national service by students implemented in several countries of the world. He submitted his report under the title "National Service for the Youth" to the Government with a number of recommendations to develop a feasible scheme of social service by students in India. Later, the Education Commission headed by Dr. D.S. Kothari (1964–66) recommended that students at every stage of education should be associated with some form of social service. This was taken into account by the Education Ministers of the States during their conference in April 1967 and they recommended that the students at the university stage could join the [[National Cadet Corps]] (NCC) which was already in existence on a voluntary basis and an alternative to this could be offered to them in the form of a new programme, named the National Service Scheme (NSS). Promising sports persons, however, should be exempted from both and allowed to join another scheme called the National Sports Organisation (NSO). The Vice Chancellors' Conference in September, 1969 welcomed this recommendation and suggested that a special committee of Vice Chancellors could be set up to examine this question in detail. In the statement of national policy on education of the Government of India, it was laid down that work experience and national service should be an integral part of education. In May 1969, a conference of the students' representatives of the universities and institutions of higher education convened by the Ministry of Education and the University Grants Commission also unanimously opined that the national service scheme could be a powerful instrument for national integration. The details were soon worked out and finally the Planning Commission sanctioned an outlay of Rs. 5 crores for National Service Scheme (NSS) during the Fourth Five Year Plan period. It was stipulated that the NSS programme should be started as a pilot project in select institutions and universities. On 24 September 1969, the then Union Education Minister Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao launched the National Service Scheme in 37 universities covering all States. At present, the scheme has been extended to all the states and universities in the country and also covers +2 level learning institutes in many states<ref name="NSS"/>. |

==Aim== |
|||
The main aim of National Service Scheme is '''personality development through social service or community service'''. This programme is to inculcate the social welfare thoughts in the students, and to provide service to the society without any prejudice. NSS volunteers work hard day and night to ensure that every one in our society who is needy gets the 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. In doing so the volunteers themselves learn a lot from the people in villages like how to struggle and how to lead a happy life in the extreme scarcity of resources and so on. Another aim is personality development through social service. |
|||
==Organisation== |

Most of the Government and Government Aided Institutions, both schools and colleges has NSS units comprising volunteers. Even the private institutions are encouraged to have NSS volunteers. A unit may typically count from 20 to 40 students. They are managed internally by a responsibility from school or college who reports to the regional NSS co-ordinator.

|||

|||
#etc. |
|||
There are no pre-defined or pre-assigned tasks. It is the volunteers' imagination to provide the service to the society in whatever ways that are feasible. The camps may typically last for a week or ten days. Many short term camps are also conducted. |
