After Independence, India made simultaneous progress in many fields: agriculture, health, education, infrastructure, science and technology, among others. However, two decades after Independence, despite our numerous achievements, many doubts have emerged about our ability to handle our system on our own.

Technology has proved to be the highest wealth generator in the shortest possible period, if deployed in the right direction. It strengthens the political, economic and security structure of the nation. For India, technology is fundamental for the vision for the future. But what aspects must one focus on first?

Vision 2020 by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Y.S. Rajan elaborates on how India’s most fundamental needs can be married with technology, ensuring that we see the country’s products, services and technology emerge as world class.
