STUDENTS AND SOCIAL WORKS

Students can do a lot of social work in their free time during their holidays. Instead of spending their time in wasteful activities like roaming, the streets around or watching T.V films for long hours they can serve others in different ways. Firstly, all our students can teach uneducated people in their free time. Lots of uneducated factory workers, labourers, privat servants, etc desire to learn to read and write English and Urdu. Teaching without any monetary return is perhaps the hihgest form of social service. Secondly, students can help labourers and workers in construction roads or bridges, especially in the small towns and villages. When government departments cannot construct certain public roads or bridges, students can jion hands with labourers in their construction. They can even in their educational institutions to help maintain playgrouds and parks and buildings. Thirdly, students and help poor, old and helpless people in buying them the things they need. They can take ill persons to hospitals or bring doctors to them. Thus they serve needy and suffering people who have none to look to for help. Fourthly, students in their summer vications can visit villages for a couple of days or weeks to teach illiterate villages. They can stay with them in their huts or small houses by turn and can teach them in groups. The government can start different social work programmes for students and have a special fund for this purpose. It can establish adult education centres, radio and T.V repair workshops, training camps for villagers for the use of machinery on tarms, etc. where students can work in free time. Students are young and active. They can do social work with effort.
