Nikhil Bhargava, M. Tech. IIT-Delhi, Principal Engineer, Hughes Systique Corporation The satisfaction and pride in helping those who are less fortunate than me, is the single most important reason that propelled me to volunteer for community service. I believe that rendering donations alone is not enough, one has to commit his time and effort for the cause he feels strongly about. I always believed in upliftment of so called "weaker sections" and when I came across SMILE and got to learn about its e-Learning programme which provides vocational education to youth, I decided to help strengthen the noble cause and believe me nothing in this world can be more satisfying then to help someone walk the road called life. The feeling of fulfillment can be endless. It gives me a sense of responsibility; inculcate patience, tolerance and feeling of sacrifice within me. I feel that if each of us can contribute some part of our life to the community, then there will be nothing like "underprivileged" or "weaker sections" and the world at large will be a better place to live.
