Dr kalam's talk was on tha topic " science Empowers tha nation ". How does science empower tha nation?
Answers
Science is
the real power. Scientific advancement is the hallmark of an advanced nation.
Countries that are scientifically more advanced have more power. For example,
America, Is considered as the leader of the world. Its policies affect the
entire world. Hardly any other country dares to oppose its policies. Why is it
so? For the simple reason that it is scientifically far ahead! NASA, Microsoft,
Apple, Coke, Pepsi, McDonald, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc, all are indicators
of its scientific strength. Its military uses most advanced hardware and
software equipment. It has more advanced technological edge. So any country
that wishes to be powerful, must focus on developing science in all areas.
Developing scientific attitude among Indians is one of the educational objectives of the Indian Government's policies. So if India is to become powerful, it is possible through science only. Dr. Kalam, Himself was a great scientist. He empowered India by giving India many potent missiles such as, Akash, Agni, Prithvi,etc. He could make those missiles only through the power of science.
