HISTORICAL BACKGROUND :-

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 Prime Minister Pandit Nehru, A Committee Was Appointed Under The Chairmanship Of CD 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. In The April 1967, The Conference Of State Education Ministers Recommended That At The University Stage.

The Conference Of Vice-Chancellors (Vcs) In Sept 1967 Welcomed This Recommendations And Suggested That A Special Committee Of Vcs Should Be Setup To Examine This Question In The Details. In Pursuance Of These Recommendations, The Ministry Of Education Introduced The NSS During 1969-70

The Choice Of The Timing To Its Introduction Was Remarkably Suspicious As 1969 Was The Birth Centenary Year Mahatma Gandhi, The Father Of Nation To Whom Social Service Was Almost A Religion. The Response Of Students To The Scheme Has Been Excellent Starting With A Strength Of 40,000 In 1969, Now It Has Reached 30,00,000 In The Country.
