NATIONAL SERVICE SCHEME (NSS) – Govt. Mizo Higher Secondary School Unit

The tagline “Not Me but You” perfectly sums up the NSS’s objectives, mission, and goals. The motto encourages individuals to help others, live freely in our nation, and respect other people’s beliefs and perspectives. It considers the well-being of each person and of society. Therefore, NSS (National Service Scheme) upholds this adage above everything in every of its programmes and undertakings.

Objectives: The main goal of NSS is to help students develop their personalities while encouraging them to contribute to society.
