Dr.Kalam's visit to NIT,Rourkela

Of course I had never thought that I would see the great man,the former Prsident of India,Dr.A.P.J.A.Kalam in real life.Now I am happy to say that I was mistaken.Just being in his presence was like being shrouded in an aura of vast knowledge and experience.And to my great fortune I got the oppurtunity to publish Dr.Kalam's speech in our Institute's news-e-letter,Monday Morning.The speech itself was magnificient in its exeution by Dr.Kalam but I guess I wasn't giving my 100% concentration when I was actually there.But reading the speech again in my room in leisure,I came to realize how much optimistic dedication is actually prevalent in the thoughts and actions of the great scientists of our country.I am going to quote some of Dr.Kalam's words so that you can see for yourself.

"I realized that if something is at stake,the human minds get ignited and the working capacity gets enhanced manifold.That’s exactly what happened.This is one of the techniques of building talent.The message is that the young in the organization,whatever is their specialization,be trained to systems approach and projects,which will prepare them for new products,innovation and undertaking higher organizational responsibilities.Friends you should get ready to acquire knowledge in an integrated wayfor using multiple disciplines towards product development and its management."

"I am going to visualize the type of India in the year 2020,so that you can build the capacities to participate in this movement.
