This study was conducted to find out the relationship between social responsibility and social response of students at the university level. The study was descriptive in nature, and a survey method was used for data collection. The population of the study consisted of 1374 university students of University of Kotli Azad Jammu and Kashmir. A simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample of 300 students. A five-point Likert scale questionnaire was developed to collect responses from students. A self-developed questionnaire validated by two experts was used in this research. Data were collected through direct visits to sampled students. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 22 was used for data analysis. Frequency, percentage, and mean scores, standard deviation and Pearson’s correlation were applied to analyze the data. The study found that the students do not educate themselves about diverse cultures, indicating a lack of interest in cultural education. This could impact their ability to interact in diverse environments or contribute to inclusive practices. The study also concluded that there is a strong and positive relationship between Social Responsibility and Social Response. To improve cultural education, university authorities may focus on awareness campaigns, integrating multiculturalism into curricula and training programs, and organizing interactive activities.
