Former President APJ Abdul Kalam on Sunday emphasised the importance of education in making India a superpower by 2020. Kalam attended the 126th birth anniversary of Dr Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil, the founder of the Rayat Education Society, here on Sunday, along with Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar.
"Students should work to imbibe qualities like moral leadership, temperament and an attitude for research. They should always try to learn modern technology and keep learning so that their knowledge would make India empowered and a superpower," Kalam said in his address at the event.
"Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil's mission was to spread education, so that no village in the state remains without a school, no school in the village without a teacher and no student be deprived of education. His vision resulted in four lakh students learning through 674 schools and colleges from 14 districts in the state," Kalam said.
"There is a need to develop a good education model, so that students can participate in the economic development of India. In today's world, students should be taught to implement and manage the knowledge and the information they get everyday. They should use new technology to learn new things. Along with this, there is need to develop entrepreneurs through the education system. We should succeed in imparting this confidence among students," he said.
Citing the examples of great scientists like Thomas Alva Edison, the Wright Brothers, Graham Bell and S Chandrasekhar, the former President said that the contribution of such stalwarts to the growth of science and technology is great. "We must gain inspiration from them. Students must work hard, be open to acquire knowledge round the clock. No one can stop you from becoming another Graham Bell, if you have all this in you," Kalam urged his audience.
Sharad Pawar spoke of Karmveer Bhaurao Patil's "major role" in empowering Maharashtra. "He was a pioneer in the education sector and worked throughout his life to spread the importance of education," Pawar said.
Kalam inaugurated the core banking process of the Satara District Central Cooperative bank on Sunday.
"With increased use of technology in the banking sector, rural customers are being able to avail good service. The benefits of technology should reach the rural population and should bridge the gap between urban and rural India," he said.
Kalam also reminded the gathering of students of the famous verses of 13th century Persian Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi and asked them to recite with him:
I will fly and fly
"I am born with potential.
I am born with goodness and trust.
I am born with ideas and dreams.
I am born with greatness.
I am born with confidence.
I am born with wings.
So, I am not meant for crawling,
I have wings, I will fly
I will fly and fly"
