5. Problems encountered and resources required:

In rural areas a big constraint is the acceptance of new ideas. Student leaders are required to handle these situations judiciously. Other limitations include availability of financial resources and geographical reach. However, the desire to strive for the betterment of these people, voluntary contribution and corporate collaboration, outstrips such constraints. Another challenge is to entice privileged students to join such outreach programmes. This is sought to be overcome through consistent mentoring in classrooms by teachers who endeavour to develop a sense of social responsibility among students.
