WHICH HE WROTE IN 2002 AND THE SAME WAS DEDICATED TO AN INTERMEDIATE STUDENT BY NAME SNEHAL
TAKKAR FOR ANSWERING KALAM S QUESTION AT A FUNCTION ABOUT WHAT WAS OUR BIGGEST ENEMY . TAKKAR
REPLIED THAT IT WAS POVERTY . KALAM FELT BEMUSED AT HER KEENNESS AND DEDICATED HIS BOOK TO HER AS A
TOKEN OF APPRECIATION.
KALAM WAS INVITED BY THE STATE OF JARKHAND AS THE PATRON OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
COUNCIL OF THE STATE TO WORK OUT A DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMME IN THE AREA OF HERBS , FOREST PRODUCTS
AND OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES. T HERE , HE MET THE PEOPLE OF HILL REGIONS WHOSE FACES WERE LIT UP WITH
HAPPINESS. K ALAM WAS STUNNED AT THE ABUNDANT FOREST WEALTH OF THE J HARKAND STATE WHICH WAS NOT
PUT TO USE FOR THE GROWTH OF THE STATE S INCOME . HE FELT THAT THERE WAS AMPLE SCOPE FOR DEVELOPING
A HERBAL DRUGS INDUSTRY IN THE STATE .
KALAM HAS FORTUNATELY ESCAPED UNHURT IN A CHOPPER (HELICOPTER) CRASH WHILE TRAVELLING TO
BOKARO, THE STEEL CITY WHERE HE ADDRESSED THE STUDENTS OF CHINMAYA VIDYALAYA STUDENTS. THERE, HE
WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE STUDENTS INTEREST TO LEARN AND URGE FOR INNOVATION . HE SPOKE TO THE
CHILDREN THAT THEIR STATE WAS GIFTED WITH COPIOUS MINERAL HEALTH WITH WHICH THEY COULD RISE
INDUSTRIES . HE LANDED THE STATE S FERTILE SOIL THAT COULD GIVE THEM GOOD NUMBER OF CROPS TO FEED
THEIR STOMACHS COMFORTABLY . HE TOLD THEM THAT THEY COULD IMPROVE THEIR STATE S WEALTH THROUGH
THE FOREST AND HERBAL PRODUCTS . KALAM HOPED THAT THEIR FUTURE WOULD BE GLORIOUS WITH THE
PROGRESS IN HEALTH AND EDUCATION THROUGH URBANIZATION . KALAM FELT THE NEED TO FOCUS OUR
ATTENTION TOWARDS IMPROVING THE EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT SHOULD ATTEMPT TO ELEVATE THE CREATIVE
THINKING OF THE YOUNG MINDS.

KALAM STRESSED THE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR VALUE ADDITION . HE WISHED THAT THE HUGE MINERAL
WEALTH SHOULD BE UTILIZED TO GENERATE FAR MORE INCOME IN OUR COUNTRY INSTEAD OF EXPORTING TO
FOREIGN COUNTRIES LIKE JAPAN IN THE FORM AS A RAW MATERIAL . HE WISHED THAT THE SAME RAW MATERIAL
SHOULD BE UTILIZED HERE FOR REFINEMENT WHICH WOULD ENHANCE VALUE ADDITION . HE MEANT THAT THIS
WOULD BOOST UP OUR ECONOMY BY AT LEAST HUNDRED TIMES .

KALAM FELT EXCITED AT THE BREATH TAKING SCALE AND EXTENT OF THE BOKARO STEEL PLANT. HE WAS
AMAZED AT THE J HARKHAND S MINERAL STOCK . I N FACT , IT COULD BE CALLED THE CENTRAL STORE HOUSE OF
MINERAL WEALTH OF THE NATION . B UT HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH A SENSE OF DISAPPOINTMENT TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WERE NO INDUSTRIAL ESTATES AROUND IT TO PRODUCE VARIOUS STEEL PRODUCTS . HE
EMPHASIZED THAT THE STATES AND THE CENTRE SHOULD NEED TO MAKE AN INTEGRATED EFFORT TO MARCH THE
COUNTRY TOWARDS DEVELOPMENT .

KALAM, AT THE END OF HIS ADDRESS TO THE STUDENTS, EXHORTED THAT VARIOUS SPACE AND DEFENCE PROJECTS
SHOULD BE DONE AS MISSION MODE PROGRAMMES BY GETTING INVOLVED IN VARIOUS PIVOTAL PARTICIPANTS
LIKE GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS, INDUSTRY , RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL GIANTS . HE
FIRMLY ASSESSED THAT CENTRAL AND STATE PROJECTS INTEGRATED AS MISSION MODE OPERATIONS WOULD BRING
RAPID DEVELOPMENT AT MINIMUM COST . HE ASPIRED THAT THIS COULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH GREATER
RESPONSIBILITY , SELF-CONFIDENCE , KEEN PARTICIPATION , CONTINUED EFFORT AND DETERMINATION .
