All youth volunteers who opt to serve the nation through NSS-led community service wear the NSS badge with pride and a deep sense of responsibility towards helping those in need.
The Konark Wheel in the badge, having 8 bars, signifies the 24 hours of the day — reminding every volunteer to be ready for service to the nation at all times.
Red colour in the badge signifies the energy and spirit displayed by NSS volunteers, while the Blue colour represents the cosmos, of which NSS is a small part — always ready to contribute its share for the welfare of humankind.
An NSS volunteer who takes part in the community service programme may be a college-level or senior secondary student. Through active participation, these volunteers gain invaluable experience and exposure, shaping them into:
