India will be The Best Place on Earth by 2020
Towards making “Vision 2020” a reality, ex-president Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is continuing his favorite work of igniting young minds even after leaving his office. On May 10, Dr.Kalam was addressing at the first convocation ceremony of Ravenshaw University at Cuttack, Orissa, where he appealed to the young students to work coherently for converting dreams into reality, so as to make India a best place on earth by 2020.Kalam reminded the audience by saying, “dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts into action and with knowledge all problems would be defeated and goals achieved”. Mentioning Pokhran-II of May 11, 1998, he justified the then NDA government’s action saying it was necessary to fortify India’s nuclear capability and added that present nuclear negotiation with US will not affect India adversely.
To emphasis his dream of transforming India into an ideal place by 2020, Dr. Kalam said, “India in the next 12 years would have a very thin line dividing urban and rural areas, abundant quality energy, best destination for science and technology research, quality health-care facilities and a responsive government”.
