Tetso College NSS Volunteers Serve Villages

On October 23, 2026, the National Service Scheme (NSS) unit of Tetso College in Nagaland conducted Gram Seva activities in several local villages. This initiative was part of the ongoing “Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan” (Drug-Free Youth Campaign) spearheaded by the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, a national campaign aiming to eliminate drug abuse among young people. The event marked a significant contribution to the campaign’s efforts to reach a vast number of citizens.

Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan Context

The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, as reported by the Press Information Bureau, has successfully reached approximately 35 crore (350 million) individuals and covered over 32 lakh (3.2 million) educational institutions across India. Related activities, such as the campaign in Gujarat’s Gandhinagar promoting a “Drug-Free India” message through traditional sports, demonstrate the diverse approaches being used to achieve the campaign’s goals. Furthermore, awareness programs were recently organized at the Teachers’ Graduate College and Polytechnic (TGCE) in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, highlighting the nationwide scope of the initiative.

Details of the Tetso College Gram Seva

The Gram Seva undertaken by Tetso College NSS volunteers focused on community development and supporting local initiatives. While specific details regarding the tasks undertaken were not immediately available from the Morung Express report, typical NSS activities often include sanitation drives, tree planting, awareness campaigns related to health and hygiene, and assisting with local infrastructure projects. The event coincided with “Parampragat Khel Diwas” (Traditional Sports Day), suggesting a combined effort to promote both physical activity and community engagement.

National Service Scheme (NSS) and its Role

The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a flagship program of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India. It’s designed to channelize the youth’s energy and enthusiasm in nation-building. Students enrolled in NSS units undertake various activities, including community service, social action programs, and environmental conservation, contributing to the overall development of their communities. The NSS plays a crucial role in fostering a sense of social responsibility among young people.

Practical Implications and Outreach

The Gram Seva organized by Tetso College’s NSS unit underscores the importance of grassroots-level engagement in national campaigns. Reaching 35 crore people through the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan highlights the scale of the challenge and the need for sustained efforts. Local initiatives, such as those conducted by college NSS units, are vital for creating localized awareness and fostering behavioral change. The inclusion of “Parampragat Khel Diwas” suggests a strategic approach, leveraging traditional sports to connect with communities and promote positive values.
