NSS is an Indian government-sponsored public service program conducted by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India. The symbol for the NSS is the giant Rath. The wheel portrays the cycle of creation, preservation and release. It signifies the transition of life across time and space; the symbol thus stands for continuity as well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social change. The eight bars in the wheel represents 24 hours of a day. The red colour indicates that the volunteer is full of young blood that is lively, active, energetic and full of high spirit. The navy blue colour indicates the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of the mankind. The programme aims to instill the idea of social welfare in students, and provide service to society without bias. NSS volunteers work to ensure that the needy gets help to enhance their standard of living and lead a life of dignity. In doing so, volunteers learn from people in villages how to lead a good life despite a scarcity of resources. The NSS also provides help during natural and man-made disasters by providing food, clothing and first aid to the victims.
