The student life is the period of life we spend in

life. It is called the seedtime of human life, as our

achievements in life depend on our performance in

our student life. The first and foremost duty of a

student is to gather knowledge. In this period a

student prepares himself for different duties in the

future. In schools, colleges, and universities

teachers help them to equip themselves with

necessary qualities. If this period is neglected they

are sure to suffer. Along with the coursework they

should also try to acquire knowledge about the

current affairs and all sorts of important issues.

habit will help them throughout their life. A student

should also take proper care of his health. It is said

health cannot prosper in any field. So it is necessary

the best use of his lime. He must not confine

himself to his class books only. He should read

other good and informative books, newspapers,

magazines, and periodicals, too. Students will be

the future leaders of the nation. They are the hope

and strength of a nation. So, this time should be

used properly in constructive and preparatory

activities for ensuring a bright future.

It includes both basic needs and lawful rights. The basic needs are food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care. Without any of these rights, the development of a person will be hindered vehemently. Even, his life may come to an end. On the other hand, there are some rights that a person is entitled to either as a citizen of a country or as a person belonging to this world. These rights include being equal before law, freedom of speech, movement, thoughts and conscience, beliefs, peaceful assembly etc. No one shall be forced to be a slave or to do any work. If a man becomes deprived of basic human rights, his mental growth will be hampered. In the present world, the condition of human rights is very deplorable. This situation must be developed to live a standard and peaceful life.
