Akshay,

There are dozens of social and non-governmental organizations that
work to cure society's ills. You could investigate such groups in
your area and see if you can help out. You don't necessarily have to
go in the 'field'. Many of these groups need help in many areas
including publicity, book-keeping etc.

Some of the biggest ones are:

* CRY (Child Relief & You): http://www.cry.org

* Asha (focussed on basic education): http://www.ashanet.org 
You can see ads for their 'Work an Hour' project in the 'Tip of the day' 
of some nukkad messages

* Aid India: http://www.aidindia.com
They have numerous social development programs

There is a short list of other organizations at

Good luck...
