"Colleges should require students to engage in public-service activities in order to assure that each student receives a balanced, well-rounded education."

education is the necessity of today. education has now become the integral part of our lives. some people link education directly with the academics like book learning and coursework related but i think education is just not limited to going to school or colleges and mugging up the printed books. it should be given at the wider scope. by wider scope I mean it should also consider other departments of our day today life. making a child study books for years will make him/her only a bookworm. the human nature is very dynamic and we should employ this dynamism to the best possible way. coming out of books and seeing the problems in the world will help the students to know the various social issues and an education given at the right time about the public services will help them to develop their interest. for this necessary efforts are need to taken at the earliest level so that the students receive a well rounded balanced education and such a thing can be given in colleges usually as in the school days the students are not much aware of the outside world and parents too fear of sending their child out and interacting with the world. So, when a student turns 18 and is ready to go to college, he/she is ready to interact and express better with the world with an intent to learn new things in life.

As for an all round development of the students its necessary for the student to have a support from his/her study place. the colleges should take necessary steps to make students involve in the day today activities apart from giving lectures in the room. after all academic knowledge is not enough for one to be a better human in life. a person is counted as a better human when he/she devotes some part of his life towards humanity. this not only will help him knowing the problems related to the society but also pushes him to work for its betterment. so, as to give a better understanding of the outside world things like volunteer work for the betterment of the poor, regular blood donation and many such things can help in making students aware about their societal and moral duties.

some initiatives which can be taken by college administration can be having an alliance with an NGO which work towards the upliftment of the poor and cleaning of the environment. this will help the students to work as volunteers in the villages or underdeveloped areas and help the children their in educating them and telling them the value of elementary education. another effort which college officials can take is spreading the message of clean environment by telling the harm we are doing to the environment and giving the solution by planting trees. such steps will surely make students to think towards their social obligations and betterment of the society.

thus, it can be concluded that we as humans are not bound to study and use that knowledge for getting money. there is something more that we should consider as our duty and that is our dedication towards our society. we can cram any number of books we want but the lesson public development can only be learned when we make ourself involve in such activities not forcefully but by our own wish. colleges can only act as a channel to connect students with the society, rest of the work has to be done by students in maintaining the relationship. this not only ensures the fulfillment of our duty towards society but also helps to be a good human and helps in a circular development.
