उत्तर
Students can do a lot in generating ideas that could be helpful to society. Many illiterate people and young children succumb to dengue, malaria, and other diseases as they don’t keep their surroundings clean. NSS, Red Cross, National Green Corps cadets can run successful campaigns to present the spread of such diseases. Water is the most precious wealth of the nation. People tend to waste it without realizing the sordid and potential threat of “zero water day” in Tamil Nadu if we don’t prevent the sand mafia’s from looting river bed sand.
Besides, farmers do not use advanced scientific methods to make judicious use of water or water harvesting. As a result, their crops fail along with rainfall. More than double, the quantity of water, we beg from Karnataka goes and ends up in the Bay of Bengal. So, students could cite Kajender Singh, a water specialist who made parts of Rajasthan bloom due to water conservation techniques. To popularize water harvesting, judicious use of water and reduce pollution and enhance recycling practices, the student community can interact with a community, conduct rallies or campaigns, and be proud to be a part of the development of the nation.
