National Service Scheme (NSS) unit of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU) organized a book donation drive at Government Senior Secondary School, Tikri to promote education and nurturing young talent. The initiative aimed to extend academic support to students from Classes 11 to 12, particularly those preparing for higher studies and competitive examinations.
As part of the drive, NSS volunteers donated NEET and JEE preparation books for Class 11 and 12 students to assist with their daily academic needs. This contribution was met with enthusiasm and gratitude from both students and faculty of the school, who acknowledged the importance of such support in bridging resource gaps faced by many learners in rural areas. Volunteers also donated creative charts for the classrooms for better understanding of various topics.
Education is one of the most powerful tools for empowerment and even small contributions can create a long-lasting impact in shaping the aspirations of students. The donation holds special significance as it provides students access to quality learning materials that can motivate them to aim higher and prepare confidently for future challenges. By addressing the academic needs of the youth, the initiative reflects the true spirit of the NSS motto, “Not Me, But You,” fostering values of selfless service, community development, and nation-building. Dr. Rajiv Kumar, NSS programme coordinator were also present during the event. School authorities thanked NSS SMVDU team for the initiative.
