INTRODUCTION

Christ the King Engineering College (CKEC) encourages students to involve themselves in social services to facilitate their holistic development. Through exposure to various extension activities, students are prepared for societal and humanitarian challenges. Our Institute works with the neighboring community, carrying out a range of extension programs to address the needs of the neighborhood under the National Service Scheme (NSS), Youth Red Cross (YRC), and other initiatives. Participating in such activities broadens students' knowledge, leadership qualities, skill levels, and self-confidence. Service to mankind is service to God. Our incredible has long way of traditional out look to take care of others; especially Tamil culture is famous for its way of approach in helping others. Generous donations made by the Indians during the natural calamity shows the mentality of helping the fellow citizens in a needy situation. Our father of the nation rightly said “The student community should be actively involved in the service of rural society to eliminate social disability”. Bearing service of society as the prime aim, National service Scheme was launched by Union Education Minister Dr. V.K.R.V. Rao on September 24, 1969.
