INTRODUCTION 

In society, it's not only just the government's responsibility to deliver better services towards its citizens but also A sincere and dedicated citizen's attitude and behaviour towards his nation also determine the development of society. Govt can't fullfill it's duty without cooperation and coordination from its citizens. A citizen must do his duty with ethics and morality and also utmost care for the welfare of the state and society. In a country like India where there is a presence of versatility and variety of languages, cultures, traditions, food, custom, rituals, religions, etc, it will be impossible to handle all the social, political, and cultural issues without coordination from its citizens. A citizen can control all the bad activities that happen in society and direct a positive path to the society, where A nation can grow and improve into an advanced country. Govt has all the power and authority to control society in a systematic manner, but it does not always happen,govt can't force or influence all the matters in society, in this situation and circumstances public should cooperate and support its govt for the betterment of the society. So we need to discuss what kind of roles a citizen needs to play so that a society can become a better place.

1) Clarity and conviction about the role:

A citizen knows his duty and responsibility, and what he needs to do. In India constitution gives its citizens of freedom of expression, equality, protection rights of the public, justice, etc. But it depends upon that particular citizen, how much he can use his rights in which direction so that society can't be hurt by his action. In a society, all the elements including govt and its citizens are bound to operate their work legally and within constitutional limitations. A govt formulates rules, and regulations, and maintain order and justice but it's a citizen has to be responsive and understand all these activities and follow the process, and procedure for the betterment of society, govt can't interfere always and every matter in society, that's why a citizen has to understand its role with full clarity and conviction, so that govt and citizen can't interfere each other's duties and create problems.

2) Paying taxes:

It is the supreme and most important function of a citizen to pay tax from his income for the betterment of society, it doesn't matter whether the income comes from a job or business, these taxes given by citizens are collected by govt and formulates developmental policies such as the construction of road, building, schools, hospital, education, health, drinking water system, agriculture, defense, poverty eradication programs, etc, a lot of citizens don't want to pay taxes and practice corrupt practices so that their illegal money remains safe. These kinds of attitudes hurt the national economy and progress. So these kinds of work must be eliminated, A citizen must contribute all the energy and effort for the development of the state, A nation will benefit largely if it has a large group of responsible citizens.

3) Accountability:

A citizen must be accountable for all his actions in a good or bad way because he is the part and heart of the society, he can't run from his action, he must be accountable for his responsibilities towards the state, A citizen must ask to himself about if bad things happen in society because if he does his duty sincerely things could be have been changed and better, he can't put blame on govt of each and every activities.

4) Transformational:

A citizen has all the capabilities and capacity to bring change in society and transform it into a better version compared to the previous. An aware citizen can eliminate all the bad things and evil practices in society such as promoting equality among men and women, promoting goodwill gestures, eliminating violence attitudes, guiding and monitoring the society towards development, performing as a mentor and a leader for the society to teach ethics, values, morality maintenance, maintain rule of law, promote peace and harmony in the society, informed the govt about problem and issues those are undiscussed in a long time, bring awareness in society about national interest, social issues such as dowry, woman exploitation and discrimination on the basis of sex, gender equality, and development, liquor ban, etc, these all are the activities done by a responsible citizen for the betterment of society.

5) Promotes peace and harmony in the society, develops the culture, and reduces hate among different religions:

An aware citizen always promotes peace and harmony in society because he knows the value of it. Without the establishment of peace and harmony, a society can't grow. Peace and development expand the culture of a society and become an example in the international arena. A responsible citizen always removes hate and misunderstanding among different religions and their followers and always tries to bring them close to each other. A responsible citizen must always participate in social, and cultural issues and provide his point of view on them, he always participates to distribute his experience, and knowledge for the betterment of society, he is always an asset to society not selfish like others.
