Onion and Cabbage...

Consistent Kalam

More than three months after he gave a five point program for India's development, Kalam reiterates exactly the same in another occasion at another venue.

Calling upon the VIT to carry out research on desalination, he said studies should be conducted to make the process cost-effective. They should also cover the cost of solar power. Agriculture, food processing, education, health care and information and communication technology are the other areas of importance, besides self-reliance in critical technologies, he said, highlighting the concept of providing urban amenities in rural areas.

You might ask, what's the big deal? Nothing, really! But in days when politicians and public figures change stance every minute, I found it pretty interesting that someone is holding on to his checklist for 3 months.
