National Service Scheme

The college has the unique distinction of being the recipient of 4 National awards by the Government in recognition of our commitment to community service.

We foster the spirit of community service by involving students in extension activities organized by the NSS. There are three units of the NSS each headed by a program officer.

The programme officers in collaboration with the NSS unit of Osmania University organize all activities. The NSS units adopt local slums and organize diverse developmental activities and general awareness programs to improve the quality of life of the slum dwellers.

National Cadet Corps

The NCC aims to develop leadership qualities in an individual and thus create a disciplined force that could be of use in national emergencies.

Training is provided with a view to developing officer-like qualities in the cadets enabling them to obtain commission in the Armed Forces.

The total strength of the NCC squad in our college is 80. The NCC comprises the three wings Army, Navy, and Air Force.
