 Symbol of NSS
Based on the giant Rath Wheel of
the world famous Konark Sun
Temple (The Black Pagoda) situated
in Orissa. The wheel portrays the
cycle of creation, preservation and
release and signifies the movement
in 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.
 Badge of NSS
The NSS Symbol is embossed
on the badge. The eight bars in
the wheel represent the 24
hours of a day.
The red color indicates that the
volunteer is full of young blood
that is lively, active, energetic
and full of high spirit.
The navy blue color indicates
the cosmos of which the NSS is
tiny part, ready to contribute its
share for the welfare of the
mankind.
