They can play an important role to eliminate illiteracy from the society. They can utilise their vacation in giving basic education to the illiterate people. They can setup night schools in their villages.
The students can encourage the poor people to send their children to school. They can tell people the evil of early marriage and dowry system by arranging seminars and discussion.
