The objective of this 7-day NSS camp is to provide an opportunity for students to engage in community service, develop their leadership skills, and foster a sense of social responsibility.
The camp aims to bring about a positive transformation in the lives of the participants and the community they serve. With the motto to make students responsible and the joy of giving and sharing, Apeejay College always provides its students the various platforms to explore and ultimately become a better and responsible citizen.
In this 7-day camp, students are visiting different villages, organising as well as participating in cleanliness drives and campaigns.
