National Service Scheme was started to establish a meaningful linkage between the campus and the community. Along with that it has the objective of 'education and personality development of the students through service to the community'.

The NSS unit of St. Xavier's College is a strong and committed one which is acclaimed as one of the best in M.G University.  It enables the students to become aware of their social and moral duties and initiates them into social and community service.  The participants are given the chance to develop their patriotic feeling through community leaving and united action.  Volunteers who undergo the prescribed course of training will be given the certificates from the University.  NSS certificate holders of all classes get grace marks in the University admission and bonus mark to admission to higher courses.

In association with various social organizations and local bodies, we had made social, economic and health surveys in the different wards of Aluva Municipality with various awareness programmes, rallies etc

In association with IMA and Jacees in all the years we have conducted Blood donation programmes Rolleys slide shows etc…

The special camp we are conducting is giving a chance to the students to the students to live along with the residents of the camp site, to undertake various constructive work, literate them, create awareness about various social evils like drugs and smoking, AIDS etc. For environmental protection our volunteers have planted saplings in the Aluva Municipality.
