Sub: Science and technology is a perfect blueprint for
future

Sir:

I am writing to your good self to express my views on role
of science and technology in shaping India’s dynamic future. India is marching
steadily and surely towards advancement; to attain the status of an advanced
nation and to tackle future challenges of pollution, hostile neighubouring
countries, prosperity, growth, and stable economy, India must develop her
science and technology.



Bill Nye, a great American engineer has wisely said,
‘Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then
you're holding everybody back.’ Self reliance in science and technology is the
first prerequisite for national progress and development. Without it no nation
can dream of prosperity and freedom.



Countries such as USA, Russia, France, UK, Israel, China,
South Korea, Japan, etc. are advanced by virtue of their advancement in the
science and technology. Hence the more a nation is advanced technologically the
more say it has in the world affairs. The above mentioned countries have
developed such sophisticated machines and technology that they can do almost
anything. These countries have made state-of-the-art weapons, surveillance,
situational monitoring devices that they are always ready to tackle any
emergencies in advance. Similarly, they have made unprecedented advances in
education, medicines, energy creation, vehicles manufacturing, computers, IT
world, research, etc. All these achievements would not have been possible if
the people of these countries would not have nurtured scientific attitude.



India is the new entrant in this sphere. India has shown
phenomenal success in science and technology recently. The notable organizations
that have contributed to scientific and technological development are: ISRO,
DRDO, ADA, BHEL BDL, etc. India has stunned the world in its expertise in
producing sophisticated weapons for self defense such as  Akash, Prithivi,
Agni, LCA, BDM system, Tejas, Rohini radar, etc.



India should further develop science and technology in all fields
for a bright and secure future. Through the medium of your newspaper, I appeal to
people and Government to promote scientific and technological advancement, especially
among school and college students. Kindly give my views enough space in your
reputed daily. Thanking you.

Yours sincerely
