MATHURA: Expressing concern over the limited reserve of conventional forms of fuel in the country, former President A P J Abdul Kalam has stressed the need to develop alternate fuel for the future.
In an interaction with the students of Hindustan College of Engineering and Technology in Mathura on Saturday night, Kalam said, "efforts should be made to tap solar energy, nuclear power and bio-fuel."
Kalam stressed on the need to expand research and development in the country.
"To be self-reliant India needs to develop more research labs in the country," he said, adding then only "a vision of a prosperous India by 2020" can be achieved.
The 'missile man' also asked students to dream big in life.
"Anybody can become great if dreams are great. The success is bound to come if dreams are great", he said.
Noting that knowledge makes a person great, he said creativity, righteousness and courage are its three vital components.
"While creativity paves the way for learning, righteousness in heart paves the way for beauty. While beauty leads to harmony, harmony leads to peace," he added.
"Courage leads to think differently, invent and explore path to counter problems. It also leads to achieve goal. Hard work, Perseverance and knowledge paves the way for achieving the aim of life," the former President said.
Appealing to the teachers to be committed to their duties, Kalam cited C V Raman, who refused to go to President House to collect an honour as he was helping his students on their thesis.
