'A righteous society starts from home'

< Back > < Next >

Abhishek Rathi (FIITJEE Junior College, 17 yrs): India creates best Engineers & Management Executives through premier institutions such as IITs and IIMs. A lot of expenditure is incurred by the Goverment of India on training them. They can help create a stronger nation through their minds & skills. Then, why isn't it mandatory for them to work for "India" atleast for a period of three years (Eg: For Scholarship students of National Universtiy of Singapore)? What steps is the Government taking to discourage them from working abroad?

President APJ Abdul Kalam: India produces about 300,000 professionals like engineers etc. each year. Another 100,000 graduates/post graduates in medicine and science are also produced. Any nation, if a certain percentage of people move for knowledge acquisition or wealth generation, there is nothing wrong. For example, in India nearly 20 million people are located in various parts of the planet. So, the movement of Indian professionals to other parts of the globe is a dynamic situation for both countries. However, in India we have to start research organisations that may attract many people from various parts of the world.


Sekhar (Christ nagar, trivandrum, 15 yrs): if you come to know that a politician is corrupt and if you have evidence for the same, will you take legal proceedings against that person

President APJ Abdul Kalam: It is a good question. Definitely law of the country takes care of such type of people. The righteous society starts from home.


Navyadeep (Sri Chaithanya School, Tirupathi, Andhrapradesh state, 14 yrs): Is there any possible source to capture kashmir from pakistan to india without loosing our soliders.
