Yuvaraja's College (UMYC), Mysuru Campus & Infrastructure

There is an intense enthusiasm and interest among students to serve the community. Providing ample opportunities by way of a forum to spur and channelise their energy into socially useful and nation building activities is an absolute necessity.

The NSS unit has been started with this lofty intention. The youth who spend their time, talent and energy in voluntary social work will experience the feeling of being useful to the community and will have the satisfaction of having contributed their mite to the society. Further, they will have an opportunity to fulfill their social responsibility as young citizens. On being exposed to the problems of the less fortunate in the society and in endeavoring to solve their problems, these young students will experience the realities of life. This rich experience will go a long way in shaping their personalities- in making them conscientious, responsible and mature individuals. The NSS unit of the College encourages the students in this direction.

The projects taken by the NSS are:

• Environment enrichment and conservation
• Healthy, Family-welfare and Nutrition Programmes
• Creating awareness for the improvement of the status of women
• Production-oriented programmes
• Social Service Programmes
• Programmes for working during emergencies and natural calamities
• Education and Recreation
• Institutional Projects
• Village/Slum adoption etc,.
• Conducting 10 days annual Special Camping Programmes.

The college has all the three wings of NCC namely Army, Navy and Air. NCC training which includes drill, weapon-training, map-reading, annual training camps and all India level camps- is given to the students.

It aims at the growth of the young students into mature and responsible men & women with strength of character and courage so that they become worthy citizens of the country. Our NSS volunteers & NCC cadet-students take part in the Republic day parade every year.
