The National Service Scheme is a government-sponsored public service program conducted by

the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. The NSS unit of Lakshmibai college comprises of a

team of enthusiastic students that enjoy social work and as sensitive humans consider it their

responsibility to bring about necessary changes in the society, to the best of their capabilities. To

be the change we wish to see in the world is certainly possible and the volunteers of this unit

make immense efforts to do the same. The unit has different projects and volunteers with their

own rational will, work selflessly towards the betterment of their respective choice of projects.

Red Dot Project, Saksham, Samarpan, Shiksha Cell, Umang, Urvar, Technical wing and

Editorial wing, are the broad projects that have their own importance and uniquenesses.

RED DOT PROJECT -

It is one such project that in itself reflects the motto "Not me but you" of the National service

scheme. Here, students produce low cost sanitary napkins within the college premises in the most

hygienic, affordable, efficient way possible and later distribute the manufactured napkins to the

underprivileged women in Wazirpur which is the adopted village of this unit. When the Red Dot

Project was established, it gathered a lot of appreciation from different media agencies, which

uplifted the spirits of NSS volunteers, thus they consistently work hard to push the bars further

high.

SAKSHAM -

The driving force behind project Saksham is the need and importance of inculcating creativity,

confidence and a strong personality amongst students that fail to afford quality education and

exposure. Volunteers of this project frequently visit different government schools and organize

various activities that promote both the physical and mental growth in children. Improving the

younger generation is definitely the most ideal way of developing India and the NSS unit has

begun the wave of change.

SAMARPAN -

The art of selfless service and warmth is witnessed in the project Samarpan. Volunteers promptly

and enthusiastically help their fellow college mates that are specially - abled by composing

assignments, notes and other requirements that improve their studies and enable them to do

extensively better both in academics and extra-curricular activities. Lending a hand is simply the

most subtle form of social work and the unit believes in this very fervently.

SHIKSHA CELL-

Volunteers of Shiksha cell are deeply committed to social service and this is very evidently

reflected in the project itself. These volunteers visit the adopted slum Wazirpur every weekend to

teach the underprivileged children thereby enhancing their grasping capacity and improving their

learning techniques. They are committed to bring about revolution and have oiled the spark of

learning amongst the underprivileged children of the slum and soon it is sure to spread like

wildfire.

UMANG -

Umang is one of the most powerful projects that is in it's most effect under the NSS unit of

Lakshmibai college. A team of vocal and powerful actors perform impactful plays (Nukkad

Natak) on social subjects to bring remarkable changes in the mind-set and approach towards life

of different people across the city. Actions speak louder than words and the volunteers here pitch

eye opening plays that leave the audience with goose bumps and heart-melting emotions that

certainly deep down alters their way of living in some way or the other.

URVAR -

Hard work, Creativity, Warmth, Dedication, theatre, art, you name it and the unit has room for

everything in it. Urvar has in it, volunteers that create art and symbolize social work. It isn't easy

to craft materialistic items without polluting the environment in any manner. But the volunteers

in urvar are artists that curate posters and different materialistic items that are required during

campaigns and rallies in the most efficient way possible. They ensure to reduce the amount of

wastage as much as possible and most likely use, re-usable and recyclable materials for the same.

Besides these projects the unit consistently organizes different campaigns and rallies very often

to address the different needs during odd hours. From cleanliness drive, donation drives, Traffic

awareness to Blood donation camps and many other different subjects, the unit creatively

organizes various activities that bring about basic changes in the mind-set and approach of the

colleagues. These are subtle changes but at least they are "Changes".

Subsequently, The NSS Unit of Lakshmibai college feels immensely proud to have had

volunteers represent not just the unit but also the college and even the state at different

competent events and competitions . Varsha Pathak was selected for the National Integration

Camp 2018, Riya Kumari was selected for Republic Day Parade Camp 2019 and Tanushree

Mishra was selected for the National Integration Camp 2019. Tejashwi Sinha and Kulsum Jahan

Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India in the honour of the 48- member Youth

Delegation from Nepal at New Delhi under the International Youth Exchange Programme on 8th

March 2019. Neha Mishra and Shrishti Verma both are awarded as the best NSS volunteers by

the college. Besides many NSS volunteers regularly participate in different inter-college and

inter- University competitions and bring pride to the unit as well as college.

The regular and prominent functioning of the unit takes place under the guidance of a

Programme office. Dr Amrita Shilpi has been the Programme officer of the NSS Unit since 2018

and has taken great initiatives to uplift the overall quality of social service that the volunteers try

to establish. She was honored by Delhi Public Library (Govt of India Organization, Ministry of
