The NSS Unit was started in our college in the year 2020. Since then it has been a vibrant and active unit. National Service Scheme (NSS) of Shri D D Vispute College of Pharmacy and Research Center, New Panvel has been rendering yeoman service to the society. NSS has been functioning as a regular feature in the realm of our university education. The overall objective of the scheme is educational and service to the community.
