portrays the cycles of creation, preservation and release and signifies the movement in life across time and
space The design of the symbol, a simplified form of Sun Chariot Wheel primarily depicts movement. The
wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life. The symbol thus stands for continuity as well as change and
implies the continuous striving for social change.
NSS Badge
The NSS symbol is embossed on the NSS badge. The NSS volunteers wear it while undertaking any
programme or community service. The Konark Wheel in the symbol has eight bars, which represent the 24
hours of the day. Hence, the badge reminds the wearer to be in readiness for the service of the nation round
the clock i.e. for 24 hours. The Red Colour in the badge indicates that the NSS volunteers are full of blood
