What is NSS?
Launched in the Mahatma Gandhi Birth Centenary year 1969, as a student youth service program,
National Service Scheme (NSS) aims at arousing social consciousness of the youth with an overall
objective of personality development ofthe students through community service, behind which lies the
cardinal principle of inculcating the spirit of being instrumental in nation building through
combined participation in community service.

Composition of NSS Unit:

NSS unit consists of 140 student volunteers led by a teacher in-charge called

"NSS Programme Officer" and two teachers as the “Coordinators”.

The main objectives of this scheme are to

.Understand the community in which they work.
.Develop among them as sense of social and civic responsibility.
.To meet emergencies & natural disasters.
.To promote the will to serve the weaker section of the community
.To identify the needs and problems in the community and to develop a methodical solution in which they can be involved.
On the verge of globalization and technological advancement, very few have the urge to be compassionate towards the deprived and the needy, especially the youngsters. In such scenario, here are some ‘techies’ who do not intend to confine themselves to their rigorous, technical domains but are stretching their arms to reach the society selflessly.

5. Sankethika Bharathi -News Letter:

With the B.Tech. course being so intensive and academic schedule so very hectic, staff and students seem lost in their own academic fields and find no time to interact with the other disciplines. A need for a single source of comprehensive information about all the activities going on in the college is felt. Hence, the publishing of a biannual Newsletter – Sankethika Bharathi. This newsletter is released once during the College Day celebrations and again at the time of I year induction programme. Our Newsletter focuses on the current status, future possible developments and the participation of students and staff in the developmental programmes. It is named Sankethika Bharathi as it is envisaged as a platform for highlighting scientific and technological innovations and reflecting the talent and achievements of GNITians in curricular, cultural, literary, placements and sports activities.

Convenor – Mrs.V.Jahnavi. Asst. Professor of English.
