the sign of the movement of life across time and space. The design
of the symbol, a simplified form of Sun Chariot Wheel, primarily depicts the
movement. The wheel signifies the progressive cycle of life. It stands for
continuity as well as change and implies on the part of the NSS for continuous
striving for social transformation and upliftment.

The Red colour in the badge indicates that the NSS volunteers are full of blood, i.e lively active and spirited.
