MY EXPERIENCE (as NSS volunteer)

I remember the day; I enrolled myself as NSS volunteer just for enjoyment and for friends. But the first camp was an eye-opener and after that I was hooked with the meaning and motto of NSS becoming clearer with every passing day. From that day my involvement with NSS increased and realized the amount of work we could do to help others. There is an inexplicable ‘joy’ in giving specially one’s time and support that was far greater than the pleasure of receiving. NSS motto “NOT TO ME BUT YOU” did great job to develop my own personality through community service and teach me discipline, team work, hard working and punctuality. In three years, I participated in National Integration Camp, Mega Integration Camp, National Hiking Trekking Camp, Three Pre- Republic Day Parade Camp and Three Ten Days Camp with others states. During these camps, I learnt about the rich heritage, cultures and traditions of my incredible India and feel proud to be an Indian. College NSS days is now the part and parcel of my life where I remembered each and every moment whether it rallies, earthwork, lectures, one day camps, ten days camp, dining hall, night stay in camps and educational tours. That was my memorable moment when our state won “best state team” award in national integration camp and also our team won bronze medal in skit in mega integration camp. My happiness knew no bounds our union minister of youth affairs and sports, govt. of India especially me for my bhangra performance. I want all the youths to follow me by joining NSS because NSS can bring such laurels to one’s life. I am very thankful to our NSS programming officers who motivated me to join NSS, appreciated me on my every success and inspire us to do new and creative things that will help us to shape our future.
