Students in a developing country like ours can and should work for social and national progress.

Firstly, our students, ‘especially in the colleges and universities, can educate the uneducated (illiterate) people. They can engage in a universal education programme, which may be arranged or sponsored by the government and rich industrialists, businessmen and landlords. Classes for children and adults (grown up people) can be arranged in schools, colleges, suitable government buildings, specially erected structures in open places and even in certain parks, gardens and fields. The students should teach not just to earn money but more to serve their dear nation and country. They should understand clearly that unless most or all of our people get educated, we cannot join the family of advanced or developed nations.

Secondly, students can take part in social welfare activities for general social progress. A wing of the Social Welfare Department may advise the different categories of our students about the work they can perform in their respective fields. For example (instance), the advanced university students can be asked to visit the inner city areas and villages to advise the people about the need for family planning or birth control. They can be asked to explain to the common people in frank talks or through speeches at crowded public places the benefits of honest living. The people should be made to feel that in business. Politics and in private and public dealings honesty brings real success. Junior students of colleges and high schools can engage in physical welfare work like road repairs and general cleanliness of the parks and grounds.[the_ad id=”17150″]
