The National Service Scheme (NSS) unit of the Polytechnic in Animal Husbandry, Kamdhenu University, Junagadh, was established in the year 2014 with the objective of promoting social responsibility, community engagement, and personality development among students through meaningful service activities.

Owing to the sustained enthusiasm and active participation of students, the strength of the unit has been enhanced to 50 volunteers for special camp and 100 volunteers for regular activities at present.

The NSS unit is presently functioning under the able guidance of Dr. P. G. Dodiya, who has been serving as Programme Officer since April 01, 2020.

The NSS units of the Veterinary College and Polytechnic in Animal Husbandry, Kamdhenu University, Junagadh successfully organized a Seven Days NSS Special Camp at Mota Gundala village from 16^th March to 22^nd March, 2026. The camp aimed to promote rural development, animal welfare, public awareness, and social responsibility among students. The camp commenced with a formal inauguration ceremony, setting the tone for a week of dedicated service. This was followed by a village survey conducted during the afternoon session, which helped volunteers understand the socio-economic conditions and animal husbandry practices of the local community.

Throughout the camp, a wide range of activities were carried out for the benefit of villagers. These included Swachhata Abhiyan (cleanliness drives), yoga training sessions, and a rabies awareness programme. A drawing competition was organized at the village primary school to engage children creatively while spreading awareness. Volunteers also conducted pamphlet distribution drives and celebrated World Sparrow Day to promote environmental consciousness. Additionally, tree plantation activities were undertaken to encourage ecological sustainability. Special emphasis was given to animal husbandry awareness, where campaigns addressed key issues faced by farmers. In addition, NSS volunteers actively performed street plays (Sheri natak) highlighting important social issues, effectively engaging and educating the local community.

Experts from the Veterinary College, KU, Junagadh delivered informative lectures on topics such as Clean Milk Production, zoonotic diseases awareness, and the process of preparing various dairy products, thereby enhancing the knowledge of local livestock owners. A major highlight of the camp was the Animal Health Check-up and Deworming Camp, which provided essential veterinary services. During this initiative: 153 buffaloes, 138 cattle, 400 sheep, 100 goats were successfully dewormed, and treatment was provided to sick animals, significantly contributing to livestock health in the village.
