About NISHTHA
Our Genesis
There was a long-felt feeling among NSS functionaries that NSS should have a regular platform to be associated with. While the concept of an open NSS unit was started, it required an NGO structure to truly thrive outside the pure Govt. Sector.
NISHTHA: AN NGO FOR THE YOUTH - BY THE YOUTH was formed to fulfill this requirement. Registered on 15th May 2001, we provide a dynamic platform for young people to showcase their talent while engaging in vital socio-cultural and environmental activities.
