NSS BADGE
The NSS symbol is embossed on the NSS badge. The NSS volunteers wear it while undertaking various programmes of community service. The Konark wheel in the symbol has eight bars i.e. 8 Prahars (period) which represent 24 hours of the day. Hence the badge reminds the wearer to be in readiness for service of the nation round the clock i.e. 24 hours. The red colour in the badge indicates that the NSS volunteers are full of blood. i.e. lively, active and spirited. The navy blue colour indicates the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part ready to contribute its share for the welfare of the mankind.

Under the NSS Programme any student studying in a village or in a university who opts for and is selected for NSS is expected to continue for the period of two years and is required to render service for a minimum 120 hours per year and he is also required to participate in special camping programme. The Special Camping Programme will be treated as separate project and the hours of work put in those programmes will be accounted separately and they should not be included in the 120 hours of normal NSS.
