The National Service Scheme (NSS) unit of Gargi college works under the central sector scheme of Government of India, Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. The scheme was launched in the birth centenary year of Mahatma Gandhi in 1969. Our objectives broadly cover developing a sense of civic responsibility and promoting national integration and social harmony among our volunteers through various activities and awareness programmes.
We at NSS Gargi, aim to inculcate the spirit of selfless service in our volunteers alongside the development of their personality. We aim to spread the message of Service before Self, ensuring equal opportunities for all sections of community.
"Not me but you”, the motto of NSS has been the guiding light for our volunteers. We have been working with the same determination for change that lives in our vision.
NSS Gargi is one of the largest societies of Gargi College with around 500+ student volunteers who work with amazing zeal to contribute their bit towards nation building. Being one of the most active units of the Delhi University circuit, NSS Gargi has always believed in the power of compassion and resilience. Despite the hardships of operating in a virtual setup, NSS makes sure the spirit of service does not dampen at all.

NSS Gargi has collaborated with Desh Ke mentor, an initiative of Govt. of NCT Delhi, a mentoring program for Delhi government school kids which emphasises the fact that 10 mins of your time can make a difference to someone’s life. We are actively engaged in mentoring kids and shape their future with the knowledge and experience we have gained so far.
Spirit of service has been kept in online mode as well by regular NSS Charchas(volunteer interaction and discussion sessions). Adapting to the new normal, we have have been enthusiastic by actively participating in lectures, workshops, collaborative webinars, talks, and interactive sessions such as Webinar on National Education Policy, World Mental Health Day Interactive session on Handling Anxiety, Vigilance Week Talk, BYOL financial literacy webinar, NSS x RSVI session on Visual Impairment Awareness, and projects like Menstrual Cafe; and so on.
Along with these activities, an NSS volunteer led campaign- ‘The Pathfinders’; has been launched wherein we learn to apply real-life skills and run a campaign supporting a social cause of their choice.
To celebrate the 75 years of Independence- Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav started by the Govt. of India, we have contributed to uphold our boundless spirit of patriotism and love for our nation by engaging in multiple celebratory events, discussions, nation building activities and social welfare.
