What kind of advanced facilities do you want to get in the future? Over the years I have been talking about how young and experienced people can play a role in building a pillar of India's development. What are the pillars of Indian Development Profile-2020?
A nation where there will be no dividing line between town and village. There will be opportunities for equal distribution of fuel and clean water; Where agriculture, industry, jobs are working simultaneously. A nation where meritorious people should not be deprived of quality education due to social or economic inequality. A nation where the world's most talented scholars, scientists and investors are located. Where governance will be transparent and free from corruption. Where poverty has been completely eradicated, illiteracy has been eradicated and violence against women and children has been stopped. As a nation it is developed, healthy, safe, free from terrorism, peaceful, happy and on the path to sustainable development and the best country in the world to live in and the nation is proud of its leadership.
In order to get such an India, agriculture and food conservation and processing, education and healthcare, information and communication technology, reliable and quality electrical energy and own production and technology have to make significant contributions in these five areas. Friends, please remember these pillars. Then you will find your desired challenge. Each pillar bears the imprint of different branches of science and technology.
The various transformations of science complement one another. I recently visited their laboratories at Harvard University, where world-renowned professors are employed. I was watching how Professor Hankun Park was describing the process of inventing his 'nano needles'. With which each small cell can be cut or divided into small pillars. There is an important addition to this in biology. I met Professor Vinod Manoharan, who is working on the compatibility of nanomaterials with biology. I was watching how two different branches of science in a laboratory opened the way for each other to make technical connections. That is what we expect innovation in our universities. A new path is being unveiled today. That is ecology, the need of which is gaining new importance all over the world. Its new dimensions in the 21st century inspire us to work together on science and the environment. Are we ready for that?
