The seven day NSS camp went on harmoniously where in our NSS volunteers woke up early morning at five a.m. and hoisted the flag daily and very eagerly went about the daily work which consisted of peeling the coconut shells, cleaning the premises by cutting the grass and bushes, putting manure to the coconut trees. There were educational talks in the afternoon about water harvesting, street play etc. The volunteers were given time to play throw ball and volley ball in the evenings and there was cultural program by the students on all the five days which was really very well executed given the shortage of time.
There was a throw ball and volley match on the sixth day and the volunteers along with the faculty members went to the Arabi Falls in Parapady and there was a tulu play by the students of our College who came all the way from Mangalore. There was a medical check up for the students and teachers from the faculty of Nitte Health Centre.
