The National Service Scheme is an Indian government-sponsored public service program under the ministry of youth affairs and sports, popularly known as NSS, which was launched in 1969, and focuses on the personality development of students through community service. The NSS units of Seethi Sahib Memorial Polytechnic College, Tirur, have contributed many innovative technical projects to society. Community service rendered by the two units [131 and 172] has taken several dimensions, like the adoption of villages for intensive development work, carrying out medico-social services, setting up medical camps, programs for mass awareness, sanitation drives, adult education programs for weaker sections of the community, blood donation camps, reinstating damaged hospital equipment [Punarjjani], helping inmates at orphanages, and helping the physically challenged. The units have also been generously involved in fund raising programmes for pain and palliative patients. The NSS units in SSMPC have also indulged in agricultural activities, thus creating a link between students and nature.
