Letter from an NSS volunteer

I am Abh..... from 3rd Year. I was in NSS in my first two years.  I was thinking of one thing. Almost all NSS activities are concentrated in the villages in Kharagpur.  There are also many people working in the campus like rickshaw pullers, sweepers etc who are also very poor to send their children to school. Shouldn't some measures be also planned towards this ? This is just a suggestion and maybe something can be thought on this. I had written a poem about a very poor elderly rickshaw puller in the campus some time before. I am attaching it below. Maybe it can help to spread some awareness among students towards this cause.  Lifting the pall of darkness - This   poem   is   based   on   a   true   story.   I   was   in   MMM   hall.   In   November   2010,   I   was   going   home   one   evening.   I   took   a   rickshaw   from   the   rickshaw   stand   near   MMM hall   for   the   railway   station.   The   man   pulling   the   rickshaw   was   above   60   years
