Description
In India 2020: A vision for the New Millennium, Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, our most distinguished scientist, and close associate Y. S. Rajan examine India’s strengths and weaknesses to offer a vision of how India can be among the world’s first five economic powers in the year 2020.
They cite growth rates and development trends to show that the goal is not an unrealistic one. Past successes, too, bear them out. For example, we were able to launch the green revolution at a time when experts had all but given up on India ever becoming self-sufficient in food.
Similarly, in the field of space technology we started from scratch to have today a system of satellite-based communication linking remote regions of the country. The same sense of purpose can lead us to success in many other areas crucial to achieving the goal of a prosperous, strong nation, assert Kalam and Rajan.
