The National Service Scheme of R.C.O.E.M organized several events in the year 2016-17.

The aim of NSS is the personality development of a student through community service.

The Motto of NSS “Not Me but You” Reflects the essence of democratic living and up

holds the need of selfless service. The main objective of NSS is to work amongst and for

the people, and therefore every NSS volunteer strives for the betterment of the society.

Almost all the volunteers are actively involved in creating assets for the community

as well as in promoting health and environment protection issues. We are here to throw

some light on the activities undertaken by the NSS unit.

Organ donation: - Organ-Donation has a miraculous legacy. Such programs are a living

proof that death can bring life, that sorrow can turn to

hope and that a terrible loss can become the greatest gift

of all. As the gift of life is the most amazing of them all.

Blood Donation: - No matter how farther

That’s why blood donation is more precious

than anything else in the world, as donated

blood saves millions of lives every year. By

donating blood , you help a needy and save

a precious life . “1 point of blood can save 3

lives.” With this motto , a Blood Donation

NSS FOUNDATION DAY CELEBRATION:-

“ The best way to find yourself is to lose

yourself in the service of others .” NSS volunteers

work hard day and night to ensure that everyone

in our society who is needy gets every possible

help from them so that they can also enhance

their standard and lead a life of dignity in the

society with all of us . With this motto , NSS unit

of Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering

and Management celebrated NSS Foundation

Day on 24th of September , 2016 at Balsadan

Orphanage . Around 110 NSS volunteers along

with Dr. S Dogra participated actively in this event.

a lot with the

children at

orphanage. They played various games and did various

activities with them . In this regards, volunteers did tree

plantation along with the children and told them about

it . Stationary items such as notebooks and pencils

were provided to the children along with chocolates .

All the children

were very happy

after spending

such memorable

moments with the

NSS volunteers

and NSS

volunteers were

also happy that

they gave their precious contribution towards society on

the occasion of NSS foundation day and somewhere , the motto of NSS unit “ Not

Me , But You” was successfully achieved.

Orphanage Visit: -

“They say that, If you want know about

the state of our country, then observe the

under privileged children of the nation”.

NSS unit of RCOEM organised a

cleanliness drive at YuvaJyoti

Orphanage , Nagpur on August 28 .

Around 25 NSS volunteers participated actively in

this noble cause. Volunteers interacted with children

and took a session on general knowledge and

cleanliness awareness. A donation of cleanliness

equipments like dustbins, and brooms were donated to

the orphanage.

Police raising day rally:-

“ People sleep peaceably in

their beds at night only

because rough men stand

ready to do violence on their

behalf .” A police force is a

constituted body of persons

empowered by the state to

enforce the law, protect

property, and limit civil

disorder. So, to honour and

salute the courage and bravery

of these police officers, on the

occasion of Maharashtra Police

Raising Day , a rally was

organised from Variety Square

to Yashwant Stadium on 7th

of January, 2017. The NSS

volunteers from different

colleges of Rashtrasant

Tukodoji Maharaj Nagpur

University participated in this

rally. 27 NSS volunteers of

RCOEM , Nagpur also participated actively and enthusiastically in this rally.

The rally started with the drum beats from police force. Volunteers were holding

placards including slogans and quotes about different social issues such as girl

child education, women safety, ATM security etc. written on it. It was a successful

event which marked and showcased the importance of police force in our country.

SAONER visit (Mukhbadhir Shakha -Deaf and Dumb

School): -

Whenever you fall down, you have two options: To get up

and fight back or to run away.”

What if this

fall meant

lifetime

suffering and a

drift from the

normalcy of

life?! Dozen with luxuries we forget the

gifts God has endowed upon us.

NSS unit of Ramdeobabba College of

Engineering and Management visited to Mukhbadhir Shakha Deaf and Dumb School,

Saoner on 17th Jan which made a digging impact into their hearts

and brains. Most of us would perhaps lose all hope and adapt to

the darks of our lives instead if, God forbid, we are physically

impaired in any sense. What if you were born with it or else

faced it at an early age??

These children answer the question and push the shadows away

with confidence, perseverance and enlightenment.

Your adorned masks cannot fake these little fellows. The

children at the blind school seemed to be able to see more than

us. Their sixth sense and positive attitude towards life make

one wince.

NSS volunteers played games i.e. cricket and badminton with

the children and had great fun. Volunteers danced along and saw

their beautiful paintings and handicraft and even bought them

.They do their learning and schooling by speak therapy. NSS unit

distributed sports equipments like cricket kit and badminton

rackets.

Parting these new friends was hard. Everyone looked up one last

time with a broad smile and the hearts saluting the enthusiasm of

the young ones while moving down the dusty rocky path edged

with beautiful yellow flowers.

The amazing part is that none of the volunteers pity these children. Instead, all them felt

proud of those kids and pity to be lacking the kind of vividness. Volunteers were honored

to be a part of their lives although just

for a few hours.

Cleanliness drive:- SwachhataPakhwara was

observed from 23rd of August 2016 to 31st of

August 2016 under Swachha Bharat Abhiyan

under Government of India. During this Swachhata

Pakhwara , our NSS volunteers conducted

cleanliness drives at various places such as college

campus , classrooms , orphanage etc. Cleanliness

oath was also taken by the volunteers in the

auspicious presence of NSS programme officer ,

Dr. S. Dogra. where they took the oath to keep

their surrounding always clean and to preserve

it.

Annakoot: - As Lord Krishna said , “ Fill your mind

with me , Love me , Serve me, Worship me always .

Seek me in your heart , you will at last be united

with me “. With this great spirit and devotion , NSS

unit celebrated the festival of Annakoot on 10th of

November, 2016 at ShriRamdeobaba College of

Engineering and Management. On this auspicious

occasion , around 300 NSS volunteers served holy

Prasad to a crowd of around 10000 devotees. NSS volunteers under the guidance of

teachers managed the whole event in a very smooth

and efficient manner. They ensured that no one should

go without taking food. There was also a provision for

food packets to the devotees who were unable to

come.

Old-Garment Distribution “Service to man

is Service to God”. This noble thought of Swami

Vivekananda inspires everybody to contribute

towards the wellbeing of the world. Apparently

in our journey of helping world, we really help

ourselves, because it is not the receiver that is

blessed, but the giver. Many among India’s poor

and underprivileged are short of adequate

clothing and other basic things. Donated

second-hand goods which are in usable

condition not only make their lives better but

also promote the eco-friendly concept of

recycling. What is waste for you is resource for

the less fortunate. So instead of throwing away

something, donate it. Cloth is one of the

three basics needs of human beings. But

there are people in this world who don’t

have the essential need of existence. These

thoughts motivated NSS unit of Shri

Ramdeobaba College of Engineering And

Management, Nagpur helps one of the

socially active group “Helping Hands” of

Nagpur Institute of Technology. Eventually

this noble thought got dimensions and got

executed on 29th July, 2016. NSS Unit

donated clothes which were further

distributed to the needy people by “Helping

Hand” group. Contentment through helping

these less fortunate is the greatest

achievement one could ever receive in life.

Cloth donation at Yuva Jyoti

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by

what we give.” With this thing in mind NSS unit of

RCOEM had donated clothes on 16th October 2016 at

YUVA JYOTI orphanage to fulfil their need.NSS

volunteers reached orphanage at 4 PM to donate clothes

and spend time with the kids over there. Kids were happy

to receive cloths. They were even glad to spend time and

play games with NSS volunteers. With this we came to know that the measure of life after

all is not its duration, but its donation. The event was successfully conducted with smiles

on the faces of little kids.

Yaad Karo Kurbani : A Tribute to Martyrs …..

“ They may torture my body , break my bones , even

kill me . Then they will have my dead body , but not

my obedience.” Inspired from these famous lines ,

NSS unit of RCOEM organised an event “ Yaad

Karo Kurbani “ on 15th of August 2016 at Shri

Ramdeobaba College of Engineering and Management

, Nagpur .

The programme was acknowledged by Chairman Shri.

Banwarilalji Purohit and Secretary Shri. Govindlalji

Agrawal. On this occasion , Martyrs were

Reflection & Akriti

On 18 Feb

2017, the

NSS Unit of

Shri

Ramdeobaba

College

of

Engineering and Management payed a visit to

'Malegaon' village, which is approximately 65

km from Nagpur. The bus reached the village at

10 in the morning. It carried 90 volunteers and a

team of 10 Doctors. NSS Programme officer,

Dr. S Dogra also visited the village along with

the Volunteers. With a motto to provide proper

health care and awareness to the people living

there, doctors from various hospitals were

called to give the villagers a complete health

check up. Doctors from Vasan Eye Care,

Advance Dental Clinic and Shrishti Eye Care

visited the village. The NSS unit took care that

no villager is left untreated. The volunteers

ensured that each person whether old or young, child or a women is given proper

awareness and treatment from the doctors. When it comes to health, women are more

prone to problems. Hence, a Gynaecologist was also called up to provide medications to

the women. The villagers were given handy tips, advice and proper guidance to look after

themselves. When remote rural areas and slums are considered, they are hardly provided

or guided with medications. It thus, was the need of the hour to help such people in a way

that could contribute towards the welfare of our society. It was a small initiative that NSS

Team took to help the villagers by providing them, the help that they themselves couldn't

afford. At the end the doctors were felicitated with saplings and mementoes by the NSS

Programme officer, Dr. S. Dogra. We are thankful to the team of doctors that took out

their precious time to help out the poor villagers. It gave a sense of satisfaction to the

entire team after interacting with the people there and also a feeling of joy to have helped

out the poor villagers in some way or the other. Thus, the last day ended with a smile on

the face of the villagers that made our journey of PRERNA worth memorable.

As the father of our nation has rightly said that “The best way to find yourself is to lose in

the service of others”. We need to get to that point where change is irreversible and

exponential. With every step that the NSS unit takes; we move closer to that point.

More than 450 years before the birth of Christ, Confucius said:-

“What I hear –I forget

What I see-I remember

What I do – I understand”

So, let’s do it together, we have heard what we have to do. We have seen what we need

to do. Now it’s the time to do it, and together we can do it…
