"भारत महान् राष्ट्र है, जहाँ समृद्ध विरासत एवं ज्ञान का ऐसा भंडार है, जिसमें पूरे विश्व को बदलने की संभावनाएँ निहित हैं। पिछले हजारों वर्षों से इस देश की संस्कृति, वैज्ञानिक प्रतिभाओं तथा सभ्यता पर लगातार आक्रमण होते रहे। औद्योगिक क्रांति के प्रति उदासीनता, कृषि की खराब स्थिति, संसाधनों के कुप्रबंधन तथा बढ़ती आबादी से महान् राष्ट्र की समृद्धि का हृस होता रहा। इस राष्ट्र के महान् नेताओं ने भारत की स्वाधीनता का सपना देखा तथा राष्ट्र की प्रगति के लिए रोडमैप तैयार किया। विशाल प्राकृतिक संसाधन, जैव विविधता और मानव संसाधन होने के बावजूद भारत को अभी भी अपने अतीत का गौरव प्राप्त करना है। इस दिशा में महान् वैज्ञानिकों ने कार्य योजना के साथ टेक्नोलॉजी 2020 विजन तैयार किया, ताकि वर्ष 2020 तक आर्थिक स्तर पर भारत विश्व की महाशक्ति के रूप में उभर सके। विज्ञान और प्रौद्योगिकी की गहन समझ तथा इस क्षेत्र में आत्मनिर्भरता के लिए योजनाएँ तैयार करके ही राष्ट्र सुदृढ बन पाएगा। यदि हम अपनी सोच बदल लें तो निश्चित रूप से भारत को इस ज्ञान के युग में ग्लोबल लीडर बनने का अवसर मिलेगा। स्वप्नदर्शी डॉ. कलाम का एक ही मिशन था 'मिशन इंडिया', जिसके अंतर्गत वे एक विकसित भारत के स्वप्न को साकार होते देखना चाहते थे। यह पुस्तक उसी भविष्य के भारत का दिग्दर्शन कराती है।"

"With 750 million people living in villages, India has the largest rural population in the world. Based on his Indian experience, Dr Kalam recommends a sustainable and inclusive development system called PURA—Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas—to uplift the rural masses not by subsidies but through entrepreneurship with community participation. To make his case, Dr Kalam cites the examples of individuals and institutions, in India and from across the world, who, with an entrepreneurial spirit and a burning desire to make a difference, have successfully generated and tapped into the potential of the rural masses. Fabio Luiz de Oliveira Rosa changed the face of the rural district of Palmares, Brazil, by acquiring for the farmers access to electricity and water, which effect combined with better agricultural methods led to an increase in prosperity and stemmed the migration to the cities The 123-strong Magar clan owned Magarpatta, a 430-acre plot on the outskirts of Pune, Maharashtra.

"Wisdom and inspiration from India's best-loved president
My India: Ideas for the Future is a collection of excerpts from Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's speeches in his post presidency years. Drawn from Dr Kalam's addresses to parliaments, universities, schools and other institutions in India and abroad, they include his ideas on science, nation-building, poverty, compassion and self-confidence.
Dr Kalam draws on the lives of stalwarts such as Marie Curie and Dr Vikram Sarabhai to encourage and inspire his young readers. Through these speeches, he shares many valuable lessons in humility, resilience and determination, and leads children to think, grow and evolve.
A project very close to his heart, Dr Kalam's last book for children is a road map for every child to pursue their dreams, to be the best they can be, leading to the realization of a better India."
"Authored by the most influential Indian President yet, this book delves into the obstacles that are preventing India from rising up to the challenge of development. India has unmatched talent and ambition with an inherent tendency to work hard, then what is it that keeps India from overtaking the world. Why does India as a nation settle for the ordinary when the extraordinary is well within the reach?
Dr. Kalam shares his dream of a nation that is unrivaled, he discusses how he has, from his experience, met such skilled people whose visions can transform the nation. It is imperative that one searches for own solutions and find role-models in countrymen instead of looking towards the other nations. India must not strive to be the next America or Japan but has to be the strong nation that she is capable of becoming. For this, all the trapped energies and initiatives need to be freed instead of suppressing them.
In the book, we are introduced to numerous role models that are hiding amongst us. Words of wisdom from saints and seers that the author encountered through his life have been quoted. The book proceeds to address the issues at hand and mentions some reforms that have to be incorporated in politics and policies. The policy making procedure of the nation requires major reforms. The youth has to be given a stage and the reins of the nation need to be passed on. The book motivates the young minds and forces the positive auras together to build the face of a new nation."
"In this ground-breaking vision document, first published in 1998, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Y.S. Rajan offer a blueprint for India to be counted among the world’s top five economic powers by the year 2020. They cite growth rates and development trends to show that the goal is not unrealistic. Past successes—the green revolution and satellite-based communication linking remote regions of the country, for instance—bear them out. The same sense of purpose can make us a prosperous, strong nation in a matter of years, assert Kalam and Rajan. This is a book that every citizen who hopes for a better India must read."
