Kalams DREAM INDIA by 2020

A nation where rural and urban divide has reduced to a thin line. A nation where there is an equitable distribution and adequate access to energy and quality water. A nation where agriculture, industry and service sector work together in symphony.

A nation where education with value system is not denied to any meritorious candidates because of societal or economic discrimination.
A nation which is the best destination for the most talented scholars, scientists and investors.

A nation where the best of health care is available to all. A nation where the Governance is Responsive, Transparent and Corruption free. A nation where poverty has been totally eradicated, illiteracy removed and crime against woman and children are absent and none in the society feels alienated. A nation that is prosperous, healthy, secure, peaceful and happy and continuous with a sustainable growth path. A nation that is one of the best places to live in and is proud of its leadership.
