National Service Scheme (NSS) - Overview

The First Education Commission (1950) recommended the introduction of national service by students on a voluntary basis. Subsequently on the basis of suggestion made by the then Prime Minister Pt. Nehru, a committee was appointed under the Chairmanship of Dr. C. D Deshmukh to prepare a scheme for compulsory national service by students prior to their admission for degree courses. Prof. K.G. Saiyidain who undertook a study of national service by youth in several countries, recommended that national service may be introduced on a voluntary basis. A similar recommendation was made by the Education Commission appointed under the Chairmanship of Dr. D.S. Kothari. In pursuance of these recommendations, the ministry of Education introduced the National Service Scheme during 1969-70.
