National service Scheme provides diversified opportunities to students in colleges and universities to develop their personality through community services. Community services rendered by Institution level students have covered several aspects like adoption of villages for intensive development work, mass tree plantation, technology transfer programmes, technologies for rural development, various training programmes for self-help groups and rural youth etc., Considering the benefits BIHER has made NSS Compulsory at UG level for the first two years.
