Abstract
The Indian students have much bigger responsibilities than students in rich countries like England. In England, students were trained mostly to be leaders and rulers in a world of comfort; however, Indian students live in a country struggling with poverty and need to be "nation-builders."

He argues that instead of just chasing degrees for government desk jobs, students should learn practical skills in farming and industry. By working hard and helping their poorer neighbors, students can bridge the gap between the educated elite and the common people, eventually turning India into a prosperous nation.
