Youth's Amazing August 007

India announces itself as the lead nation with the courage to promise its youth help to take it over by the 2020s

August 16 2007- (President of India 2002-2007) Abdul Kalam: “I hope that Lead India will be a success even before the target date of 2020 as it has already taken up three major steps. They are a team, they have a target and they are working together to achieve their objective of building a strong India,” he said describing the initiative as the second revolution in India after the struggle for freedom.

On the other hand, the senior scientist placed 10 profiles before them to make the nation great. They include bridging the urban-rural divide, ensuring equitable distribution of energy and quality water, synchronisation of agriculture, technology and service sectors, access to education with values for all, health care for all, responsive – transparent and corrupt free government, eradication of poverty – illiteracy – and a crime free society.
