5.0 out of 5 stars A BOOK THAT GAVE ME A REASON TO STAY IN INDIA, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: India 2020; a Vision for the New Millennium (Hardcover)

I'm a final year engg. student at IIT Kanpur. I used to think of going abroad (to the US) for further studies and then settle there, as many others at my university do. I thought that India couldn't develope and I could only waste my life by staying home.

I would like to thank Dr. Abdul Kalam and Dr. Rajan who wrote such an amazing book that after reading it I have cancelled all my plans of leaving the country. Now I would like to be in India, work hard , and see India grow as my and many of my fellow Indians' efforts bear fruit.

A must for those who have any tinge of patriotrism left in them, and also for those who think that India is the best nation to migrate from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Torch Bearer For India in New Millennium, October 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: India 2020; a Vision for the New Millennium (Hardcover)

The book titled `India 2020 : A Vision for the New Millennium' by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam with Shri Y.S. Rajan is timely brought out to facilitate transformation (economic as well as social through technological interventions) to have a developed India by 2020.

The areas identified ranges from Food & Agriculture to High Tech areas including Strategic Industries. Enabling Infrastructure suggestions viability of inter-linkages between various sectors.

The book has sensitised the younger generation specially scientist/technologist to look ahead in technology development so that rapid changes in many sectors of economy are accomplished.

The publication contain well-defined targets so that active role could be played by all concerned including Industries, R&D personnel, Academia, Government as well as non-Governmental sectors.

I have strong conviction that the accomplishment of targets by each and every one in respective field as contained in the book will surely make India self-reliant and prosperous (A DEVELOPED INDIA) by early next century.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book is good as it conveys message Learn to walk alone., October 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: India 2020; a Vision for the New Millennium (Hardcover)

Dear Sir,

I have read this book. The book is very good and written in simple English. The opening message is very impressive " LEAN TO WALK ALONE". Self reliance and India has to evolve it own economic Policy,as well as development, business and marketing strategies.India has a large natural resources and talented manpower, which is morethan enough to become developed country. Only, we (Indian) have to use them in proper way. This books highlights about the strengths and weakness of our people. When one knows own strengths and weakness there is always SCOPE for improvement.

The most important message is that it creats awareness that India has to become BIG AND STRONG. i think authours are able to convey their message to general public.
