The valuable assets of every state are honest, competent and principled citizens. The structure of a state depends on the behavior and nature of its citizens. The progress of the state requires citizens who are fully aware of their rights and duties. Therefore, it is the sacred duty of every citizen to know about his rights and duties. Only full knowledge and awareness about these can lead a state to its desired goal.
In general, those who live in the city are called citizens. But at the present time the concept of citizen has gained much popularity. Citizens are no longer just city dwellers. Everyone who lives in a country is a citizen of that country. In ancient times, city dwellers were considered as citizens only because the states were city centered. At present, a citizen is a person who shows loyalty to a particular territory, fulfills the duties and responsibilities imposed on him and enjoys fair privileges.
