The National Service Scheme (NSS) is an Indian government-sponsored public service program conducted by the Department of Youth Affairs and Sports of the Government of India. Popularly known as NSS, the scheme was launched in Mahatma Gandhi's Centenary year, i.e. 1969. Aimed at developing student's personality through community service, NSS is a voluntary association of young people in Colleges and Universities. The NSS motto, very aptly is "NOT ME BUT YOU".

The NSS unit of Bethune College was formalized in 2006. Currently Dr. Hiroj Kumar Saha (Dept. of Zoology) is the teacher in charge of the unit and also the Programme Officer. The College maintains a very active NSS unit. The work done by the unit is divided into two subcategories -

small and well packed infrastructure

Infrastructure: Bethune provides for every necessary things a student needs. We have library one for arts and one for science. We have a gym, common room for girls, water dispenser, scholarship cells, spacious auditorium. even though the area is bit small compared to other colleges personally I think being a government college it still has more than what normal government colleges don't irrespective of its size.

Hostel: the girls hostel of bethune college is in the salt lake area which is quite far from the campus itself. But the hostellers are being provided of every facilities required for students coming from a distance. The costing is also cheap. Bethune has a college bus for hostellers in order to provide the pick up and drop off facility. apart from the distance from college to hostel everything is upto the mark for a good hostel
