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.
Dr. A.P.J. ABDUL KALAM'S visit
“BE JOB PROVIDERS, RATHER THAN
JOB SEEKERS,” urged the former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in
his address to the students of Dr. M.G.R. University on February 6th 2004.
Talking about the value of youth in contributing to the country's glory, he
emphasised the need for the students' commitment and hard work.
He believes that India has
great competence and potential in emerging areas like Information Technology,
Biotechnology and Nanotechnology. By 2020 he wants India to become a developed
nation. To achieve this, he said, it is necessary to develop the capacity for
research, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurial leadership and above all
moral leadership.
He also emphasised the fact that
the Engineering, Science and Humanities graduates passing out of Dr. M.G.R.
University should dedicate themselves to contribute to the mission of Developed
India 2020 by working in the PURA Programme, which envisages creation of rural
wealth and prosperity. He concluded by asking the student community to seek
wisdom from the Almighty to help lead them in the path of righteousness through
education.
