Kalam...

Kalam gives five key areas of development for India -

1. Agriculture and Food Processing
2. Education
3. Information and Communications Technology
4. Networking of Rivers
5. Self-reliance in critical technologies

I am impressed with the order of these 5. Importance of 1 and 2 for India cannot be overemphasized.

He talks about the importance of PURA and administers a couple of oaths among school children - one to have a vision for India's development and another not to support any religious, caste and language differentiation.

When asked who his role model is, he replies that it is his science teacher Sivasubramanya Iyer.

It is so refreshing to read news about Kalam.
