the ROLE OF STUDENTs IN BUILDING nation
It is a well-known fact that the youth of any country
is a great asset. They are indeed the future of the country and represent it at
every level. The role of youths in nation-building is more important than you
might think. In other words, the intelligence and work of the youth will
take the country on the pathway of success. As every citizen is equally
responsible, the youth is too. They are the building blocks of a country.
Relation between 'Student' and
'Nation':
Previously,
we have known that people can make their nation great with their thinking,
dreaming, achieving. People are grown trees whereas students are seeds. A good
seed gives a good tree, good tree gives good fruit. A student becomes a good citizen;
a good citizen makes a better society.
The formula for great nation is "Good student--> virtuous
society-->great nation". A good student forms a virtuous society means
which is graft-less, politically balanced, economically standard and stands on
moral grounds. The nation with integrity stands forever.
The
students are prospective heirs of nation. So they should be well equipped with
sound moral, political and economical views. They are the pillars on which
beautiful edifices will be built. Students must have these qualities- a) Desire
to win b) Courage to do things c) Wisdom to understand and unravel the
problems.
The role of students in development of country
Students are vital organs of nation. They
are future citizens, who can become "Nation's most needed" categories
i.e. producers, protectors, philosophers etc. Producers produce the needed
items which may be related to food, electronic, engineering arenas etc.
Protectors protect the nation. Philosophers guide the nation.
Apart
from this, the student must play these acts of life to make the best nation.
1.
Student as a Human Resource:
A
nation for its existence basically needs food, cloth and shelter. Recently we
have come to know that there is something left behind which is to be considered
i.e. human resources. Every student must become a human resource to strengthen
society and nation. Let us see the north-eastern countries which had turned
into human resource countries.
A) Japan: It
is a small country which may equal to two states of our country. It is a victim
of "Little boy and Fat man"(Atomic bombs USA hurled on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki) and lost 3.1 million people in Second World War. So many were laid on
deathbed and lived devoid of organs. Even though, it is developed country
because of its human resources who are maestros in making robots. Now Japan is
international shop for robots.
B) China: It
became supreme in the field of engineering. Recent inventions and masonry
constructions shocked the world. Recent masonry constructions-A 36km Bay bridge
on the sea, Tarmac road on Everest, Three Gorges dam etc. It became the factory
of world. Nokia sets, Apple goods are manufactured here. It is just because
their population turned into human resources.
2.
Student as an Invigilator of Society:
Student
must invigilate his environment. He must be active in every field. He should
participate in politics also. According to Plato, "Education should be
given up to 25 years at the elementary level and up to 35 years at the higher
level. This is to cure mental malady by mental medicine. "If a student does
not participate in every field, it will be turned into a river which has no
flow. It will be house for algae, frogs and formidable insects.
The
trend of Indian politics has turned into house politics. Indian democracy
became ochlocracy and kleptocracy. A student must realize his onus to safeguard
the nation. Ancient Greek model is an excellent model. Every young person must
join the army. He has to do his service until 35 years. Then, he becomes a politician afterwards. When he retires, he becomes clergy. This is direct
democracy. Student must know the possibilities and have influence on them.
3.
Student as a Man of Erudition:
A
student should get erudition through discipline. He should be helpful to the
nation. He is one who can learn, challenge and achieve. A student must be a man
of action rather than a dreamer. A student is young soldier who safeguards his
nation. When he gets erudition, then only he can challenge ordeals. That is why
IAS, IPS examinations are based on erudition.
4.
Student as a Selfless Person:
Our
nation became corrupted because of selfishness. There is no justice without
graft. This should be revoked. For every innovation, real person behind it
should be honored. A student must be selfless and teach and lead other
students. This forms a group which can lead to a better society which gives
best nation.
5.
Student as a Bridge:
Student
must be a bridge between present generation and past generation. He must take
suggestions from pre-generation and guide the post generation. This will help
to secure the knowledge and growth of nation.
Conclusion:
Leaders
are not borne, but they are made. For this, student life is appropriate stage.
Hitler, who harbored hatred towards Jews in his student life, made him
notorious. The persons who had hard-working as weapon in their student life,
they were turned into great personalities. Student is a vital organ for the
development of society and nation. He has to incorporate all the above
mentioned principles in life.
