National Service Scheme
The main aim of conducting National Service Scheme program in Shadan College of Engineering and Technology is to create Personality Development through Community Service. This program is to motivate and encourage the social welfare thoughts in the students and to provide service to the society without any prejudice. NSS volunteers are dedicated to this work to ensure that every one in our society who is needy gets every possible help from them so that they can also enhance their standards and lead a life of dignity in the society with all of us. In doing so, the volunteers themselves learn a lot like how to struggle and how to lead a happy life in the extreme scarcity of resources and so on.
The National Service Scheme is personality development through social service or community service. This program aims at inculcating social welfare thoughts among the students by providing service to the society without any prejudice.
The college has an NSS unit, affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad with an objective to develop the attitude of social service among the professional students and to make them into responsible citizens.

The symbol thus stands for continuity as well as change and implies the continuous striving of NSS for social change.
