10. I do not see into the future, nor
do I care to see. But one vision I
see clear as life before me; that
the ancient Mother has
awakened once more, sitting on
Her throne, rejuvenated, more
glorious than ever. Proclaim Her
to all the world with the voice of
peace and benediction -Swami Vivekananda

11. Are you a teacher ?
•Then YOU have a special role to play because
You are shaping generations.
•Make your students think of a developed India in
their own ways and enthuse the students.
•Update their knowledge because a student is only
as good as his/her teacher.
•Enthuse the student to think big.
•Do not transmit to the student your own frustration
-Kalam

12. Are you a student?
•Dream.
•Have the highest ideal you can
dream.
•Make your life a mission towards
that ideal.
•Think hard to achieve the dream.
•Work hard to make it a reality.

13. Are you in the media?
Spread the message of success,
however small the successes are. Build
an image of an India with hundreds of
thousands of heroes and heroines who
are changing the country’s destiny.

14. Are you a Clerk?
•If you can be an instrument in creating the
feeling that the government (central, state
or municipal) works speedily and justly
then you have created the necessary
condition for a developed India.

15. Are you just an individual?
•Devote a few days in a month to doing something
better;
•something speedier.
•Something of high quality;
•something which will make you proud;
•Something that will make a poorer or suffering
person’s life a little better.

16. A developed India by 2020, or
even earlier, is not a dream. It
need not even be a mere
vision in the minds of many
Indians. It is a mission we can
all take up and succeed.
-Dr.APJ.Abdul Kalam

17. The longest night seems to
be passing away, the sorest
trouble seems to come to an
end at last. …
From peak to peak of the
infinite Himalayas of
knowledge and of love and of
work, India is awakening.

18. A wonderful, glorious,
future India is coming. I
am sure it is coming – a
greater India than ever
was. …
Let us all work hard my
brethren, this is no time
for sleep.On our work
depends the coming of
India of the future.

19. Arise Awake and see
Her seated here on
Her eternal throne,
rejuvenated, more
glorious than She ever
was - this Motherland
of ours.
