\nWhat is lacking in the discussions and debates that take place in intellectual forums, political platforms and academic institutions?
\nAnswer:

There are endless debates, arguments, hypotheses, theories, and yet there is little progress. However, the theme of a developed India is not discussed in boardrooms and technology conferences. It should be done by every individual, at every level to take full responsibility.<\/p>\n

Choose the correct answer:<\/p>\n Question 1. Question 2. Question 3. Question 4. Question 5. Question 6. Question 7. \u201cTo My Countrymen\u2019\u2019 is an extract from Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam\u2019s book called \u201cIgnited Minds\u201d and in this book, he has spoken about the power of imagination. It lies at the heart of the creative process and it is the very essence of life. This power makes all the difference between the winners and the losers. Dr Kalam would like to see a literate and poverty-free India in the span of 20 years.<\/p>\n He dreams of an India governed by noble leaders in which the work of scientists and technologists is focused. According to Dr Kalam creative process or power or the power of imagination is important in life to become a winner.<\/p>\n Missions are always bigger than organizations and these organizations are always bigger than the individuals who run them. Missions require effort and the mind provides the. purpose. To prove this, he gives examples. Isolated efforts do not achieve anything but by working together we can do wonders.<\/p>\n The second green revolution cannot happen without agricultural scientists, biotechnologists and irrigation experts. By working together we can provide facilities at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n According to him power is the basis towards excellence. Pre-independence India reverberated with it. It helped us to lower the importance of mighty empire. The mighty empire refers to the British Empire who ruled us earlier. During the rule of British Tata brought the Steel Industry to India. Acharya P.C Ray developed the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Many great institutions came to light.<\/p>\n Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya established Banaras Hindu University and Sir Syed Ahamed Khan set up Aligarh Muslim University. Their motivation was to see India come up in the world. But today we are not in a position to continue that work and revive the spirit. Our country cannot build power stations for the USA, Japan and China. The possibility is remote. If we have low aim the spirit of enterprise will diminish and can\u2019t achieve anything.<\/p>\n In the software sector, we have good progress. But almost all of the hardware is imported. We can\u2019t rise on the value scale. India cannot design an operating System that will\u2019become a household name in the world of computers.<\/p>\n The raw materials such as iron ore and alumina are exported to a larger extent. But we don\u2019t find an international market. Our country has hundreds of defense production Industries but India is not manufacturing battle tank, missiles, air crafts and other equipment.<\/p>\n The reason for all this is we are not in a position to give a new dimension to our style of functioning.<\/p>\n The individual interests of various ministries and even industries including institutions do not follow the integrated action plan. Love for the countiy should be our motto and vision. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharastra, Andra Pradesh are the states faring better than others in the country. The IT sector requires man power. Those living away from the cities must also have access to a good education.<\/p>\n Dr Kalam visited north eastern states Tripura, Assam and to Jharkhand. He came to know the untapped potential. Tripura is rich in mineral wealth and also in natural gas. But the transport facilities are not good because of isolation. Even in Jharkhand it is a same.<\/p>\n There is no shortage of resources in Assam but there is unrest among people. To integrate people, we need a focused mission and to channel development funds for improvement. Tripura is rich in mineral wealth and in natural gas. We see insurgency and unrest in Assam. Our organizations are full of discussion and debate. There is only noise.<\/p>\n There is little progress. We don\u2019t see the technology conferences so Dr Kalam asks the organizations to take full responsibility and to stop blaming others. Then only we can enjoy the benefits. He asks of the students to get ready to transform India into a developed nation. He says proudly, \u201cIgnite your minds and think big\u201d. He remembers the saying of a teacher who said, \u201cGive me a five-year-old child. After seven years, no god or devil will be able to change the child”.<\/p>\n We hope the information prevailed in this article is helpful for all the students of Class 9.
