NSS volunteers are expected to devote 120 hours towards social service in an academic year. The highlight of the scheme is a 7 day Special Camp. There are also single day camps, visits to adopted areas, group discussions, debates, tree-plantations, free educational guidance to poor students and various competitions for the volunteers. Rallies, Nukkad Nataks and Flash Mobs are organized on the days of national importance throughout the year. Students who remain volunteers for 2 years are awarded certificates recognized by the Government of India.
