I always had high standard for Dr.Abdul Kalam. Somehow, the present president of India does not make any impression to me for bigger stages. I always felt Kalam had a vision for himself as well as for India. It would be good to revise some of his ideas on our 59th Republic Day. Here is what he said on Jan 25th 2004 in his Presdiential Address:
Profile of Competitive India
A Nation that is prosperous, healthy, secure, peaceful and happy.
A Nation where the rural and urban divide has reduced to a thin line.
A Nation where there is an equitable distribution of energy and quality water.
A Nation where agriculture, industry and service sector work together in symphony, absorbing technology thereby resulting in sustained wealth generation leading to higher employment potential.
A Nation where education is not denied to any meritorious candidates because of societal or economic discrimination.
A Nation which is the best destination for the most talented scholars and scientists all over the world.
A Nation where the best of health care is available to all the billion population and the diseases like AIDS/TB, water borne diseases, Cardiac diseases and Cancer are extinct.
A Nation where the governance uses the best of the technologies to be responsive, transparent, easily accessible and simple in rules, thereby corruption free.
A Nation where poverty has been totally alleviated, illiteracy and crime against women are eradicated and the society is unalienated.
A Nation that is one of the best places to live in, on the earth and brings smiles on a billion faces.
These are the ten dimensional transformations needed for a competitive India and we have to work for.
