Students are devotees in the temple of learning. The first and foremost duty of students is to study seriously with devotion. They should try to gain knowledge and experience which will enable them to play their role in society. Without gaining proper knowledge they cannot be able to work for the welfare of the society as well as country. In fact, student life is the life of preparation— preparation for the struggle of life that lies ahead. So, study should be their most important duty.
In an underdeveloped country like ours, the students can do many things along with their study. At times they can be engaged in social services. They can do many benevolent works involving themselves in social service.
Mass illiteracy is a great problem. In this field, our students can make a distinct contribution. In town, they can run night schools for adults and when they go home during long vacation they can establish libraries, night schools, clubs, gymnasiums and the like. They can explain elementary rules of health and warn the people about the danger of population explosion.
Students must be ready to respond to the call of their country. They must come forward to render their helping hands in any kind of disaster of the country. When a country is face to face with a natural calamity like flood or famine, they can render social service by giving help to suffering humanity. They may collect money, clothes, blankets, foods etc, go to the flood and famine affected area and help them distributing this money, and materials.
Even the importance of Boy Scouts, Guides, Rover Scouts and Bangladesh National Cadet Cores is immense. If they are trained up in such branches of learning, they will be moulded up to render their social services wholeheartedly. Only then they will win the love and confidence of the people.
