                         Role of Youth in Realising Dr. Kalam's Dreams

 

John Kennedy’s inspiring words of his inaugural speech: ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country’ are the most relevant words in reminding the contemporary youth as to what their duties towards their country are. Dr. Kalam had three visions for India. The first was FREEDOM. Dr. Kalam appealed to all the Indians, especially the youth, to protect, nurture and build on her freedom to be respected by the entire world.

His second vision for India was DEVELOPMENT. He contributed greatly to India’s Missile Development Programs, Space Exploration, Atomic Energy and in many other ways. He also wanted the youth of India to do the same to make India a fully developed nation. Dr. Kalam’s third vision was India standing up to the world. 

If our country is to be brought out of the shackles of slow rate of development, scientific and technological impasse, and the mire of corruption, the youth force is required. It was the self-effacing and dedicated youth force that led our mother land out of the darkness of political and social slavery during the reign of colonialism. Unless the youth take responsibility in raising voice against the rampant ills, they are not going to be overcome.

The youth can serve the motherland best by dedicating themselves to her. They can do so by resolving to contribute to her development instead of going abroad after their education. They can be the vanguards in many of the campaigns such as Swach Bharat Abhiyan, Anti-Corruption Forum, Scientific and Literary Societies. The Indian youth must realize their responsibilities to the nation and take active part in her developmental activities. Looking upon Dr. Kalam as their role-model, the youth must endeavour to make his visions for India true.
