How does the speaker highlight the importance of giving back to the society?

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

The graduates have drawn largely from the social chest. The largest taken from society needs to be replenished. If graduates fail to pay back, ordinary people’s coffer will be empty. The supervisor’s education enjoins greater responsibility to society. Apart from their own individual advancement, society has got a right to expect an adequate return from the graduates.

Society does not expect them to pay back in cash. But they must payback in terms of service. They should tone up society by bringing light into the dark alleys. They should herald sunshine into dingy places. They must give solace to the affiliated people. They should also give hope unto the despondent and thus ensure a new life unto everyone.

“We Must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what’s best for society. ”
