The National Service Scheme (NSS) launched on 24^th September 1969 on the birth century of Mahatma Gandhi by Union Education Minister Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao in 37 universities covering all States and simultaneously requested the Chief Ministers of States for their cooperation and help. The motto of the National Service Scheme is aimed to involve the students at colleges and universities by inculcating the feeling of empathy and self-extension. The motto of the National Service Scheme is “”Not Me, But You”. It emphasizes on the welfare of whole society. It is one of the best platforms for the students where they can execute their selfless service for not only the community people but for whole country. National Service Scheme provide the opportunities to the students to develop their personality by involving them in community service. Therefore, this is very crucial to design the activities like socio-physical activities, cultural activities which uphold and promote the values of patriotism, communal harmony, and national integration among student volunteers.

The symbol of the National Service Scheme is based on the ‘Rath’ wheel of the Konark Sun Temple situated in Orissa. These giant wheels of the Sun Temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and release signifying the movement in life across time and space.

The National Service Scheme (NSS) Unit at K.R. Mangalam University was established in 2017, following its allotment by the Department of Higher Education, Panchkula, Haryana. Dr. Chandra Mohan served as the first NSS Coordinator at the University.

K.R. Mangalam University has consistently demonstrated its commitment to national service—not only in the field of education but also through its dedicated efforts toward societal welfare, carried out with the utmost integrity and honesty.

Every year, seven-day special camps are conducted in adopted villages such as Lakhuwas and Abheypur, focusing on various social themes.
