NSS Special Camp Organized at RCA Udaipur
Youth Inspired Toward Social Service, Career Awareness and De-addiction
Udaipur: A seven-day National Service Scheme (NSS) Special Camp was successfully organized from February 23 to March 1, 2026, at Rajasthan College of Agriculture (RCA), a constituent college of Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology.
During the camp, NSS volunteers actively participated in various community service activities, including shramdaan (voluntary labor), cleanliness drives, social awareness programs, and rural outreach campaigns. The primary objective of the camp was to instill a sense of social responsibility among students and connect them with community service.
Guidance on Social Responsibility
Dean Dr. M. K. Mehla addressed the students and elaborated on the rules, objectives, and significant role of NSS in social service. He urged the youth to become sensitive and responsible citizens committed to societal welfare.
Social activist and President of the Consumer Rights Organization, Dr. Rajshree Gandhi, delivered a motivational address on consumer rights and responsibilities. She emphasized that an aware consumer can guide society in the right direction and encouraged students to remain conscious of both their rights and duties.
Awareness on De-addiction
De-addiction expert Dr. P. C. Jain informed students about the harmful effects of various forms of substance abuse. He highlighted the alarming misuse of chemicals such as nail polish, petrol, thinner, and remover as intoxicants among youth. He explained that substances containing toluene, acetone, and other volatile chemicals directly affect the brain. While they may initially cause dizziness and a false sense of pleasure, prolonged use can lead to addiction, memory loss, headaches, stress, and other serious health issues.
Career Guidance for Youth
Career coach and founder of JS Global, Udaipur, Mr. Jitendra Singh, provided career guidance to students. He stated that in today’s technology-driven era, limitless career opportunities are available. He advised students not to rely solely on degrees but to develop practical skills, avoid digital addiction, and gain experience through internships and part-time work from early stages. He also cautioned against excessive use of social media and online gaming, stressing the need for balanced usage.
Rural Outreach and Awareness Rally
As part of the camp activities, NSS volunteers visited Hinta village, adopted by the university. Students organized an awareness rally to address social issues and encouraged villagers to:
-
