KLE Society's

The National Service Scheme (NSS) was launched in 1969, the birth centenary year of the Father of Nation, by the Government of India. 24th September is celebrated every year as NSS Day nationwide. It is a voluntary association of young people, especially college students to work for campus-community linkages. The aim is to develop student’s personality through community service.It brings our academic institutions closer to the society. It is a link between the campus and community, the college and village, knowledge and action. NSS is, thus a concrete attempt in making education relevant to the needs of the society.

National festivals such the Independence Day, Republic Day, Gandhi Jayanthi are celebrated on the college campus with a lot of enthusiasm. Various literary competitions, seminars on relevant topics are held during these days.

Every year the NSS organises special camps in rural areas. Volunteers engage themselves in rural re-construction activities with the help of the State Government bodies such as NGOs, Local authorities. Renovation of temples, laying foundation for schools, planting saplings, drainage construction, cleaning of water tanks and school premises, health check-up of villagers and pulse polio, HIV Awareness Programmes are some of the service oriented activities carried out during these camps.
