Role of Students in Social Service Activities:
Young people are the asset of a nation.  They are energetic and enthusiastic. They need the correct leadership and proper platform, for social work. Our students can do a great job in this field. They can reduce the work burden of the government. They want to do social service. It is just needed, that they should be told how to utilize their time and abilities.

During summer vacation students are free and they spend their time aimlessly. And after taking an examination and in winter holidays the same story is repeated. They have ample time for social work, but they waste it due to the lack of proper guidance.  It is the duty of teachers and elders, that they should tell the students and the younger about the importance of social work. 

In school and colleges, students should be organized for this purpose. They should be enlisted in social service groups. And these groups should be assigned various projects of social service. The atmosphere of compaction in this field can encourage the students to do more and more work. If they are reminded that it is a noble deed and will be rewarded by ALLAH, they will participate in it eagerly. 

If they are treated properly, they can start an adult literacy campaign in vacations. They can plan other programs of social work like cleanliness, family planning and health. Girls can set up vocational training workshops in their homes.  They should teach the ladies knitting and swing. 

Most of our villagers are illiterate, they should be taught about basic reading, writing, calculations, sign boards etc
In short, the field of social service is unlimited. It has many aspects and vast scope. If we guide, stimulate, encourage and appreciate young people, they can do miracles in this field.
