If we want to make India strong, we need cooperation of every citizen and develop capability of all Indians.
India is a huge democracy. Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi has ambitions to try to fix the infrastructure, the rules, taxes, education, and to lift up the Indian people. And we're hopeful that that's going to create positive momentum.
After Modi became the PM, development happened across the country.
As long as we place millions of Indians at the centre of our thought process, as long as we think of their welfare, their future, their opportunities for self-realisation we are on the right track.
The Nehru years were rather very peaceful years. A lot happened in those years: dams were built, five-year plans were made, Chandigarh was built in front of my eyes. Those were the years I grew up in.
All the credit of development in India goes to PM Modi.
Jawaharlal Nehru did a huge amount for education in India.
I came to CSIR with a passion to apply all of my scientific - entrepreneurial talents to help uplift the masses of Indians through the delivery of technologies.
If people of India can reach Mars with minimal expenditure, why can they not keep their streets and colonies clean.
We do not need men and women from other planets to develop India. Our people, our youth are skilled.
This century, the 21st century, will be the Indian century - and I really believe that.
