National Service Scheme (NSS)
at Amal Jyothi
The NSS units at AJCE play an active role in shaping students as humane and responsible citizens. The overall aim is personality development through community service — including 7-day special camping programmes in adopted villages for group living, experience sharing and community development activities.
A Pioneering Legacy of Service
M.G. University sanctioned the very first NSS unit to AJCE — the first NSS unit ever sanctioned by the University to a self-financing engineering college. Today, AJCE has two NSS units under the Technical Cell of KTU with a combined strength of 200 volunteers.
The philosophy of NSS is reflected in its motto “Not Me But You”, which underlines the belief that an individual’s welfare is ultimately dependent on the welfare of society. NSS helps students develop an appreciation of others’ perspectives and show consideration for all living beings. Volunteers at AJCE participate in 7-day special camping programmes in adopted villages, where they engage in group living, experience sharing and community development activities.
Service in Action
NSS volunteers at AJCE engage in a diverse portfolio of activities — spanning service to society, personal development, awareness building and cultural engagement.
Red Ribbon Club & Nature Club
Mainstreaming HIV & AIDS awareness and ensuring safe blood are major activities to control the spread of HIV & AIDS. Of the 1 billion youth (ages 15–24) worldwide, approximately 10 million are living with HIV — with an estimated 6,000 youth infected daily. Out of 2.47 million estimated HIV-positive people in India, 88.7% are in the 15–49 age group.
The Red Ribbon Club Programme (RRCP) is a comprehensive promotional and preventive intervention by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India — designed to enhance voluntary blood donation and mainstream HIV & AIDS prevention, care, support and stigma reduction among youth in educational institutions. An active Red Ribbon Club is functioning at AJCE.
Activities of the Red Ribbon Club:
- Voluntary Blood Donation Drives
- Blood Group Identification Camps
- HIV Awareness Programmes
The Nature Club operates in association with the World Wide Fund for Nature – India (WWF-India), whose mission is the promotion of nature conservation and environmental protection as the foundation for sustainable and equitable development.
The Nature Club is a group of students who spread conservation awareness in society. Since a club represents the collective will of its members, it can generate conservation awareness in a most effective manner — through organised, impactful activities that build ecological responsibility among the student community and beyond.
