The Best Use Of Vacation

   A vacation begins at the end of examination .Students breath a sigh of relief as a heavy burden has been unloaded .They pine for some change from the drudgery of their daily routine.During the vacation, some students visit historically important places.some ,who are away from their parents gladly go home .Others may spend(or waste?)the vacation in entertainment.
   It is ,then evident that a vacation can be utilized in a variety of ways.A vacation is not for pleasure.It is for both pleasure and profit. The best use of vacation lies in undertaking some creative or constructive work.
   Many avenues are open today for creative and constructive work .Student can learn the art of making dolls and toys.They can join some short-term course in TV repairing,electrical wiring.Some students can enroll themselves as member of a library and increase their knowledge.

   The government of India,through the government  of Maharashtra, has introduced N.S.S. (National Service Scheme)this Scheme expects student to undertake social service in adjacent areas.The government expects the student to educate the masses with regard to pollution and superstition,literacy and cleanliness.
Most of the Indians live in villages.Even after fifty years of freedom,we could not improve the villages and the villagers to the desired extent.It would  be the best use of vacation if the students visited a nearby village  with the intention of reformation.The sanitary condition in a village is far from satisfactory.Open drains containing stagnant water are found everywhere .Roads are not in a proper shape,the source of drinking-water is insect-affected .The menace of mosquitoes is perpetual .The villagers live under the most unhygienic conditions.
   To crown the disaster ,as it were ,facilities for education and medicine are conspicuous by their absence .How the villagers manage to live in such adverse atmosphere is a matter of wonder.One need not be a doctor or an engineer to transform the shape of villages.No age or sex,qualification or status is prescribed for a social worker.
   Students should impress on the villagers the importance of cleanliness.They should tell then how to make drinkable,the adulterated and insect-affected water .They must ask them neither to waste water nor to allow it to stagnate in a pool .Such a pool is a fertile field for mosquitoes .In this connection they can quite and explain the proverb :"prevention is better than cure"students must give stress on the efficacy of literacy .Spread of education alone can transform the life-style of the villagers.
   If every student were to assume the role of a reformer,during the duration of vacation ,he would be using his vacation in the best way
