EXCERPT FROM DR. A.P.J. ABDUL KALAM’S TALK TO OUR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
I am indeed delighted to be with the student community belonging to engineering, dental, physiotherapy, fashion technology and catering/hotel management. The topic I have selected for this interaction is: “Enlightened Citizens”. All of you provide yeoman service in the mission of transforming India into a developing nation with innovation, creativity, human intelligence and patience. “Service to human being is Service to God”.
As society transforms itself through education, health-care, agriculture and good governance, it has now to focus on resolving impending major crisis in the areas of energy, environment, ecology, water and mineral resources. While opportunities exist for markets up to 80 billion dollars by 2008 for knowledge-based products for India, by a careful planning it is possible to touch a target of even 150 B$ by 2010.
India, has the core competence in ICT, Biotechnology, nano-technology, and also in the newer areas that arise due to the convergence between all of theses, such as Integrated Intelligent Systems. With your specialization in different areas, how you can contribute for the nation building?
There are five areas for simultaneous development: Agriculture and Food processing, Education and healthcare, Information and Communication Technology, Infrastructure development – including River network and self reliance in critical technologies.
For achieving the above mission, the capacities required in educational institutions are: The capacity for research or inquiry, the capacity for Creativity and Innovation, particularly the creative transfer of knowledge, the capacity to use high technology, the capacity for Entrepreneurial Leadership and the capacity for Moral Leadership.
