Student social resonsibility

In this present world where every student is busy with his own work in facing the competitive world around him. But just a moment do you think they are not the future of this economy.So are they not required to have some sense of responsibility towards the society.
I think it is most essential because they are the ones who can actually feel the importance and create a difference for the economy. Not only that they will have a greater impact on others if they try to create such sense of responsibility.so i guess the students should think about it and try making atleast small efforts towards it because "even the Journey of a Million steps starts by a single step"
