The dynamics of student responsibility encompasses their concern and involvement in issues dealing with economic, environmental, political and social change on and off the campus.
Having been closely associated with vibrant student movements that Goa witnessed in the 70s and 80s, it is disheartening that the student activism today is virtually non-existent in our State.
Maybe, it is now time that the students in Goa find their voice once again. Unlike in our student days, the social media today is a very handy tool to expand the scope and strength of the positive role that students can play. We also did not then have the Right to Information Act which the students today can invoke for the betterment of society. Students need to be the caring voice of the poor, deprived and under privileged.
With Goa currently in dire straits soaked in rampant corruption and bad governance, the voice of the students could cause a political, environmental, economic and much needed social change that Goa so desperately requires. The power and diversity of our students could energize into a vibrant engine to tow Goa out of the woods.
