In India, the idea of involving students in the
task of national service dates back to the times of Mahatma Gandhi, the father
of the nation. The central theme which he tried to impress upon his student
audience time and again was that they should always keep before them, their
social responsibility. The first duty of the students should be, not to treat
their period of study as one of the opportunities for indulgence in
intellectual luxury, but for preparing themselves for final dedication in the
service of those who provided the sinews of the nation with the national goods
& services so essential to society. Advising them to form a living contact
with the community in whose midst their institution is located, he suggested
that instead of undertaking academic research about economic and social
disability, the students should do "something positive so that the life of
the villagers might be raised to a higher material and moral level".
