Coimbatore: Two NSS units were inaugurated at KCLAS with a series of community outreach activities planned for the coming months.

All the activities are focused towards ensuring quality education to the underprivileged and building a sustainable environment, both of which are sustainable development goals laid down by the United Nations.

N Nagarajan, Program Officer, Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science, the chief guest for the event, motivated the students to make use of the opportunities offered by NSS towards serving the community.

Recalling the history of NSS in the country, Dr Nagarajan went on to explain how NSS units can effectively operate in the villages around their campus.

He asked students to make use of NSS, as it gives them the opportunity to be part of national-level events like the Republic Day camp and National Integration Camp.

“Such camps will enable the students to meet students from across the country and network,” he noted.

Dr Vijila Edwin Kennedy asked students to engage in meaningful projects related to social work so that there is a deeper impact. She stressed on students take up projects with specific objectives where they can measure the outcome.

Asking students to be part of the impact-creating initiatives, she asked students to try and engage in projects, where there is scope for scientific research.

“This will enhance the students' scientific temperament” she noted.

According to her students must collaborate with companies, where there is scope for corporate social responsibility (CSR).
