St. Joseph's College for Women

The National Service Scheme (NSS) plays a crucial role in shaping young minds and fostering a sense of social responsibility among students. By engaging in community service activities, participants not only contribute positively to society but also undergo personal growth and development.

This exposure helps broaden their perspectives and fosters empathy and understanding towards others. Furthermore, participating in various tasks and projects within NSS fosters leadership qualities among students. They learn to collaborate effectively, make decisions, and take initiatives, which are essential skills for future leaders in any field.
