APJ Abdul Kalam a distinguished scientist took charge as president of India in July 2002 and Defense Scientist. He developed SLV-3 and Agni missile. He has received many honorary doctorates and the Padma Bhushan (1981) Padma Vibhushan (1990) and Bharat Ratna (1997). He is a voracious reader, writes poetry and plays the Rudra veena. Kalam explains in detail how the people of India can pave the way for a bright and prosperous future for all her population by scrupulously following certain principals and applying modern technology.
The recipient of Bharat Ratna Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is the former president of India and Defense Scientist.“The Knowledge Society” is an extract taken from his popular and famous book “IGNITED MINDS” through light on a significant aspect of modern civilization. He stresses that poverty can be rooted out only by striking a balance between the past heritage and present day scientific knowledge. Kalam opines that India can reach the pinnacles of prosperity and glory by scrupulously following certain principles and applying modern technology.
India is essentially a land of knowledge and it must rediscover itself. No doubt, the foreign invasions and the colonial rule weakened India considerably. Knowledge has many forms and it is available at many places. It is acquired through education, information, intelligence and experience. It is manifested in artists, craftsmen, hakims, philosophers and saints. It plays a very important role.
Knowledge has always been the prime mover of prosperity and power. India has been a country of great ancient heritage and culture. The tradition of guru and shishya and the writings of the foreign traveler who visited universities like Nalanda. During the last century the world has changed from being and agricultural society to an industrial society. Thus technology played a crucial role. In the 21st century, knowledge has become the primary production resource instead of capital and labor. The qualification of a nation as knowledge society goes concomitant with it’s creation and deployment of knowledge.
Education, health care and agriculture are taken ahead in the knowledge society. It promotes high productivity and rural prosperity. It helps even to create new avenues for employment. Certain products must be taken up for the generation of wealth. With the help of the most sophisticated technologies.
The multiple technologies and appropriate management structures must work together to generate a knowledge society. India has carved out a niche for itself in information technology and it will be much more developed in the years to come. Thus, it adds a new feather to knowledge society. Kalam feels glad that the planning commission has taken a lead in generating a road map for transforming India into a knowledge society.
As a second component, young and dynamic leaders are required for establishing knowledge society. The most important mission for the nation is that knowledge become superpower by the year 2010. A third dimension emerges of India is to transform itself into a knowledge super power. This is knowledge protection and it involves A tremendous responsibility. Our communication network and information generators must be protected from electronic attacks. It is very important. Our eminent knowledge and culture too help us in this great task.
