Benefit for student development

Discipline: During the camp activities, volunteers are given a fixed training to involve themselves to work towards community in their day to day life.

Understanding ground realities: Living in the comforts at homes and hostels, students fail to realize the primitive level of dealing problems. So during NSS they get exposed to villages and stay with the villagers during the NSS special camp to understand the depth of the grassroot level issues.

Students are learnt to work as a team:Several teams are formed in regular and special camp activities and assigned different tasks targeting on social and civic responsibility.

Time Management: Every task is given a fixed time within which they have to complete it. Tasks and games includes skit, mime, debate, essay, elocution, drama, drawing, culturals etc., focusing on social issues. This helps students to get rid of their stage fear.
