Youth as a Resource received good attention from the planners of our country. The whole ministry of Human Resource Development is constantly thinking to enhance HRD function at all levels. The Ministry has various departments among which Department of Youth Affairs & Sports is one which caters to the developmental needs of youth in our country. The department runs two kinds of programmes, i.e., National Service Scheme (NSS) and Nehru Yuva Kendra (NYK) for organised youths. NSS which celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1993-94 has now enrolled about 12 lakhs students all over the country including University and Higher Secondary School students. NSS has now taken a form of movement through which teachers and students are involved jointly for their effective participation in developmental work as well as for making education socially relevant. Therefore, NSS is described as the programme for personality development through community service.
