The Motto of the National Service Scheme is “NOT ME BUT YOU”. This expresses the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of other  man’s point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings.

First Aid, appreciation, of the dignity of labour, propagation of family planning, small savings, tree plantation and afforestation, combating calamities like famine, flood, drought and earth quake and last but not the least, mobilising available resources for the development of the Community as a whole.
