In educational institutions, National Service Schemes aim to extend the higher education system and orient students toward community service while they are studying. The educated youth expected to take over the administration in the future are unfamiliar with the problems of village/slum communities. Therefore, it is important to instil a sense of social responsibility in students and to give them the opportunity to work with people in villages and slums. There are 100 regular volunteers enrolled in the National Service program of the SoAS. The volunteers are assigned two types of activities – the special one is 7 days programme of developmental activities in the adopted village and the routine ones are tree plantation, the celebration of national days, cleaning campaign, wasteland development, personality development programmes etc.
