National Service Scheme (NSS)
The logo of the National Service Scheme is based on the ‘Rath’ wheel of the Konark Sun Temple of Orissa. The Konark wheel in the NSS logo having 8 bars signifies the 24 hours of the day, reminding volunteers to be ready for the service of the nation round the clock i.e., for 24 hours. Red colour signifies energy and spirit displayed by the NSS volunteers. The Blue colour signifies the cosmos of which the NSS is a tiny part, ready to contribute its share for the welfare of mankind. All the youth volunteers who opt to serve the nation through the NSS-led community service wear the NSS badge having this logo with pride and a sense of responsibility towards helping the needy.
