The National Service Scheme (NSS) is a public service program run by the Indian government’s Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Major General Jagannath Rao Bhonsle first proposed the idea of NSS. The NSS symbol is based on the giant Rath Wheel of the famous Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, India. This wheel represents the cycle of creation, preservation, and release, symbolizing the NSS’s continuous effort for social change. The eight bars in the wheel stand for the 24 hours of a day. The red color indicates that NSS volunteers are full of youthful energy, while the navy blue color represents the cosmos, of which NSS is a small part, ready to contribute to the welfare of humanity.
