THE MOTTO
The motto or watchwood of the National Service Scheme in ‘NOT ME BUT YOU’. This express the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other man’s point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings. It underlines that the welfare of an individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society as a whole. Therefore it should be the aim of the NSS to demonstrate this motto in its day-to-day programme.
NSS Symbol
The symbol of the National Service Scheme, as appearing on the cover is based on the ‘Rath’ wheel of the Konark Sun Temple of Orissa. These giant wheels of the Sun Temple portray the cycle of creation, preservation and release and signify the movement in life across time and space.
The design of the symbol, a simplified form of the Sun-Chariot wheel, primarily depicts movement. The wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life. It stands for continuity as well as change and implies on the part of the NSS for continuous striving forward for social transformation and upliftment.
NSS BADGE
The NSS symbol is embossed on NSS Badge. NSS volunteers wear it while undertaking various community programmes of community service. There are 24 wheels in ‘Rath’ of Sun Temple of Konark. Each wheel has eight bars, which represents 8 pahars of day. Hence the badge reminds the wearer to be in readyness for service of the nation round the clock i.e. for 24 hours or 8 pahars. 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 pary ready to contribute its share for the welfare of the mankind.
