• NSS Unit

An NSS Unit of 100 volunteers exists in the Institute. These volunteers carry out social service and Rural Development Programmes and help government authorities to implement their poverty alleviation and employment generation schemes. The NSS Unit aims at inculcating leadership and good citizenship qualities in the volunteers.

The college NSS Unit has carried out lot of activities in nearby villages such as identification of beneficiaries for IRDP loans and socio-economic surveys in a number of nearby villages, and was instrumental in starting Trysem Training in the college. One of the social surveys in the year 1987 lead to release of many bonded Labourers in the village Jambar near Vidisha town and was instrumental in forming a cooperative society of stone quarry workers to provide them better wages, work opportunities as well as work environment. Another such survey on the village population below the poverty line was quoted in the report submitted to Loksabha by a Parliament Committee which toured Madhya Pradesh in 1987 to investigate conditions under which farm Labourers were working.
