The unit enrols students who volunteers for social work and these students have been actively involved in the organization of the blood donation campaign in the college each year. We recognize that we have to strike a balance between the needs of students and those of the local community. NSS unit of SSSMCRI has been also involved in the Health Awareness Rally to spread awareness about symptoms and prevention of health diseases and door to door field survey

All the planned activities are done with a unique intention for upbringing of the disadvantaged sections of the community and for their social well-being.
