AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, DR. APJ ABDUL KALAM IS AN EMINENT SCIENTIST AND HONOURABLE FORMER PRESIDENT OF INDIA. HE HAS A GREAT LIKING FOR HIS OUNTRY. HE HAS THREE VISIONS FOR INDIA. HIS FIRST VISION IS THAT OF FREEDOM. ACCORDING TO HIM, ' IF WE ARE NOT FREE, NO ONE WILL RESPECT US '. HIS SECOND VISION FOR INDIA IS DEVELOPMENT. HE WANTS TO SEE INDIA AS A DEVELOPED NATION INSTEAD OF A DEVELOPING ONE. LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, HIS THIRD VISION IS THAT INDIA MUST STAND UP TO THE WORLD. UNLESS INDIA STANDS UP TO THE WORLD, NO ONE WILL RESPECT US. SO WE NEED TO BE STRONG ECONOMICALLY AS WELL AS IN MILITARY POWER.
THESE THREE GREAT VISIONS OF THIS EXEMPLARY LEADER CAN CHANGE THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY. ALTHOUGH IT IS THE DUTY OF ONE AND ALL TO ACHIEVE THESE VISIONS FOR INDIA BUT THE CRUCIAL ROLE IS TO BE PLAYED BY THE YOUNGSTERS. NONE OTHER THAN THE YOUNG GENERATION CAN REALISE THESE VISIONS. YOUNGSTERS OF TODAY ARE THE FUTURE OF COUNTRY. THEY MUST TAKE THE INITIATIVE IN FIGHTING FOR EQUAL RIGHTS AND CORRUPTION. THEY NEED TO EMPOWER THE MASSES TO RAISE THEIR VOICE AGAINST SOCIAL EVILS. MOREOVER, THEY MUST LOOK FOR JOBS WITHIN THE COUNTRY. THE PROCESS OF BRAIN - DRAIN MUST BE STOPPED. THE YOUNGSTERS SHOULD NOT BECOME AN EASY PREY OF MODERNITY AND TECHNOLOGY. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY SHOULD HAVE ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT IN SOCIAL ISSUES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE, PROMOTE AND MAINTAIN NATIONAL INTEGRATION. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IS THAT THE WOMEN CATEGORY IS THE MOST SUFFERED STRATA OF THE SOCIETY . THE YOUNGSTERS MUST ENSURE THEIR EQUAL PARTICIPATION IN ALL FIELDS.
SUMMING UP , I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IT IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR THAT THE YOUNGSTERS SHOULD COME FORWARD AND CO-OPERATE IN REALISING THE DREAM OF DR. KALAM SO AS TO GET A NEW, TRANSFORMED, POWERFUL AND
