I was an NSS volunteer in college, and it truly shaped my perspective. Cleaning local parks, teaching underprivileged kids... it teaches you real responsibility. Glad the VP is highlighting its importance. More students should join.

As someone who has worked with youth groups in different countries, I find India's focus on structured volunteerism through NSS quite impressive. Building social responsibility from a young age is key for any nation's future.

Viksit Bharat 2047 is a great vision, but it needs more than speeches. Hope the government provides adequate funding and support to NSS units in all colleges, especially in rural areas. Action speaks louder than words.

Absolutely! Unity and service are what made our freedom struggle successful. Sardar Patel's values are timeless. When our youth internalize this, no goal is too far. Proud of our NSS volunteers! ✨

Good to see the focus on social harmony and moral strength, not just GDP numbers. A developed nation needs strong character in its citizens. NSS activities in disaster relief are often unsung heroes' work. Salute!
