He also observed that incorporating NSS in the university curriculum would give its programme a student-centric approach as they would be able to learn or acquire NSS traits on the sidelines of higher education.
The CM also stressed on the need of preparing a broad road map for the NSS to perform its activities in the state.
He also asked the concerned functionary for holding three state-level NSS convention- one each in Upper Assam, Lower Assam and Barak Valley to bring NSS motto close to the heart of the youth of the state.
Sonowal further emphasized on inter-departmental coordination in the state to organise NSS conventions and put in the service of its volunteers to add tempo to several welfare activities.
