National Social Services

Concern to serve society is perfectly blended with academics in Lady Brabourne College. The students of this college have an opportunity to join a unit of the National Service Scheme, (NSS) to take part in various activities generating social awareness about environmental issues, gender issues and other social issues. Children from the adjoining slum area are catered through a night school run by the hostel students. Blood donation camps and health check up camps for the slum dwellers are also organised under the supervision of the teachers.
