NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME, SRCC

National Service Scheme, abbreviated as NSS is a community-service oriented organisation

launched in Gandhiji’s Centenary Year (1969) which has annexed its territory overseas as
well now. NSS provides a platform for the students to build their character through
community service, a wonderful chance to connect them with the soil and even an amazing
opportunity to become a better human being. It also helps in cultivating a sense of
responsibility and belongingness among the society.

NSS, Shri Ram College of Commerce, as a unit of NSS, involves students and faculty into
nation building by organising various activities throughout the year. The NSS team organises
a series of events by fragmenting themselves into 11 different wings, yet one can say it’s the
most united unit in the College.
NSS, SRCC organises different activities like imparting education to underprivileged
children, organising organ donation awareness fest, blood donation camps, visit to slums,
visit to hospitals etc.

Project Sanskar
The success story of Project Sanskar began in the year 2006, with teaching children of the
non-teaching staff of the college. This project aims to enable the holistic development of
underprivileged students by imparting quality education free of cost. The volunteers of NSS
SRCC teach the students so that they prove to be an asset for their families and the country
at large. Starting with just 2 students back in 2006, the project currently has a student base of
70 students and has impacted about 100 students from classes 1st to 12th. Due to the
restrictions imposed by the recent pandemic, the project is currently operating with a base of
25 students through the conduction of online classes.

The team conducts two-hour-long classes six days a week within the college campus
premises. They also conduct regular tests that enable them to evaluate the progress of
students and the effectiveness of teaching methods. The project focuses on the value of
education of students which shapes and moulds their personality. The project aims to increase
employable skills by providing computer lessons to students during holidays to teach them the
basics of using a computer like sending an email, using MS office, etc.

Health camp:

Project Sanskar organizes an annual health camp for the children in association with various
hospitals. This year Max Hospital conducted the health camp within SRCC campus. It
included regular body checkup that involved eye checkup, dental checkup etc along with the
BMI calculation of the students.

Kido-fest:

Kido-fest is a special fest organized by Project Sanskar as a part of NSS,SRCC’s annual fest
Samarpan. Various competitions and fun activities are planned for the children like drawing
competition, dance performance, musical chairs etc.
Summer internship programme:

Every year, Project Sanskar conducts a summer internship programme wherein the interns
teach the studetns six days a week during the college summer break. This internship
benefits the children as their studies don’t come to a halt due to the Delhi University summer
holidays. The interns get to see the problem of unavailablility of quality education to
financially unsound children and are motivated to bring about a change in the education
system.

Rajinder’s Story
An insight into perseverance and hardwork
“Where there is a will, there is a way!”
The proverb is utterly justified by one of the shining stars at Project Sanskar, Rajinder.

Rajinder, one of the most assiduous students under Project Sanskar, secured 89.5% in his
best of four in CBSE Class XII Boards (2019-20). The team was filled with overwhelming joy
and pride to see a bright mind being admitted to Zakir Husain Delhi College, University of
Delhi, where he is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science. In the future,
Rajinder aspires to join the Indian Armed Forces.

His college education is being sponsored by NSS SRCC and the team looks forward to
witnessing the realization of Rajinder's dreams in the near future!

“No words are enough to commend him for his tireless efforts and dedication toward his
studies. He was always a dazzling gem from within but remained under confidence and down
to earth and so, he hung back in touching the sky of his dreams and aspirations. He only
needed a sculptor to carve his true self and that’s where the NSS family played its role. He
was a brilliant student when it came to studies. He left no stone unturned in accomplishing his
goal. His hard work and diligence had no match. He never missed any class or extra class
and with the help of the volunteers, he finally discovered his true potential.”

- Devanshi Sharma, a Project Sanskar Volunteer who taught Rajinder

transit camps slum because their homes have been demolished. They pick rag and sell nimbu-
mirchi for survival, unaware of the opportunities available to them. Also, they lack basic
amenities and literacy.

Just as the perished fruits from farms that doesn't make it to supermarkets, make up a good
fertilizer so that vegetation flourishes well, we collect the extra food left from the kitchens of
various PGs and hostels and distribute them among the needy on the streets with the motive
to feed as many as hungry stomachs and minimize food wastage to the nadir, contributing to
a thriving society.

with all that they need to soar high and touch the sky- from mentorship to financial aid. With

footing with children across the world. The first student to avail the benefits of this campaign

of the country and are encouraged to think out of the box which fosters creative thinking
amongst them. Project Sanskar is an enriching experience not only for the children but also
for the volunteers who put their heart and soul into the success of this project. These children
