NSS Pre-RD District Level Selection - Kerala University

On the 26th September 2023, a significant event took place at T.K. Madhava Memorial College, Nangiarkulangara, as it played host to the NSS (National Service Scheme) Pre-RD (Republic Day) District Level Selection for the enthusiastic volunteers hailing from Alappuzha and Pathanamthitta districts. This event held special importance as it aimed to identify and recognize the most deserving candidates to represent their districts at the state level.

The selection process was rigorous and multifaceted, with a focus on evaluating various aspects of the volunteers' potential and capabilities. The primary criteria for selection were based on physical fitness, cultural talents, and overall personality traits, including good communication skills. This holistic approach aimed to identify well-rounded individuals who could serve as exemplary ambassadors of the NSS and contribute effectively to community service.

The event featured a demonstration of a parade by Senior NCC cadet, S Jishnu. This parade served not only as a visual spectacle but also as an opportunity for the students to learn and observe the art of marching and coordination. Subsequently, the volunteers' parade and running capacity were put to the test, assessing their physical fitness and ability to work together as a cohesive unit.

Smt. Preetha MV (Former NSS Programme Officer and Assistant Professor of History), Smt. Sarsha TS (Assistant Professor of English) and Smt. Sheeja S (Assistant Professor of Economics on Contract) evaluated the cultural talents  and the overall personality of the volunteers. The inclusion of such diverse and experienced evaluators ensured a fair and comprehensive assessment of the candidates, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents and qualities beyond their physical fitness.

The NSS Pre-RD District Level Selection event not only served as a platform for identifying exceptional volunteers but also fostered a sense of camaraderie and healthy competition among participants. It highlighted the NSS's commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals who can make a meaningful impact on society through community service. The selected volunteers will go on to represent their districts with pride and dedication, embodying the spirit of NSS and contributing to the betterment of their communities and the nation as a whole.
