North East NSS Festival 2026 Begins with Registration and Orientation of Participants
Gangtok, July 16(IPR): The North East NSS Festival 2026 commenced at SC Bhawan, Gangtok, today with the arrival and registration of 300 National Service Scheme (NSS) volunteers and officials representing the North Eastern States. The five-day festival, being held from 16 to 20 July 2026, aims to strengthen the spirit of volunteerism, leadership, community service and national integration among the youth.
An interactive ice-breaking session was organised to foster friendship and cooperation among participants from different States, providing them with an opportunity to interact and build camaraderie.
The festival is being organised with the objective of enabling NSS volunteers to understand the communities in which they work, understand themselves in relation to their communities, identify community needs and problems while involving local people in the problem-solving process, develop a strong sense of social and civic responsibility, and utilise their knowledge to evolve practical solutions for individual and community challenges.
The successful commencement of the festival laid the foundation for the ensuing days of educational, cultural and community-based activities, reaffirming the National Service Scheme’s commitment to nurturing socially responsible and service-oriented youth.
