NSS is a very active corps of students at A N College. It runs through two units; one comprising of Boys and other that of Girls. Both the units are full to their maximum capacity.
NSS units of our college excel in third dimension of education extending campus to community work. Girls & Boys’ units of NSS act as unifying link among students across the departments in the college under the leadership of the respective programme officers Dr Poornima Shekhar Singh, Dept of Geography and Dr Subhash Prasad Singh, Dept of Chemistry.
NSS organizes exciting activities all the year round for personality building of students through social work. There are several specialized student interest groups to cater to more focused interest.
