An essay on Duties of Student

 Duties of  Student

The duties of a student are manifold. One may think that the only duty of a student is to study his books. But I feel that the word "Adhyayanang" ( to study ) doesn't mean the study of mere textbooks. It also means studying everything necessary to acquire to become a valuable member of society at large.

There is no doubt that the first duty of a student is to study. But then, the authorities should also be cautious in preparing the syllabus because only a good syllabus can enable a student to acquire the necessary knowledge for becoming a responsible citizen. He must also develop qualities like honesty, perseverance, helpfulness, obedience, discipline, and timeliness.

Though the primary duty of a student is to study the side of his book by the side, he must silently prepare himself to face the world in time. He must remember that he would have to be an asset, not a liability to society. To successfully face the world and its problems and be of use to society, he must keep in touch with his surroundings and contemporary affairs. Though he should not participate in activities or party politics, he must stay abreast of national and international political developments because politics is indispensable, good or bad. Though dirty politics pollutes society, healthy and clean politics save it from disaster.

In conclusion, one may say that though a student's principal and immediate duty is to study, his ultimate and long-term objective is to serve society, the country, and humanity at large. As such, his studies are relative and not the only or absolute reality.
