< Back > < Next >

Amrita Paul (Kendriya Vidyalay - II, Kalaikunda, W.B., 15 yrs): I brought up in a remote village of West Bengal. I have seen how farmers struggle. How do we bring the latest technology to them for farming? How can we uplift the poor farmers? I believe, they do not get proper return for their hard work. I am sorry that I could not write the question properly.

President APJ Abdul Kalam: In India, we produce at the moment 200 million tones of food grains and other items. It is a fact that our farmers feel that their earning capacity is not proportional to the efforts that they put in. That is why in Vision 2020, agriculture, food processing is one of the area. Food processing means value addition, value addition brings wealth to the farmers.


S.Arun Venkat Krishna (Alpha Group of Schools, Trichy, Tamil Nadu, 10 yrs): Sir: If God appears before you, what request will you make at HIM ?

President APJ Abdul Kalam: I will pray: Almighty God bless my nation with people of hardworking and knowledge and thereby make the nation economically developed nation.

President APJ Abdul Kalam: Don't get disheartened. The people who have a dream and worked hard and didn't deviate from the aim have all succeeded.


hina gill (bbk dav college,amritsar, 19 yrs): what must be done to prevent youngsters from becoming drug addicts and spoiling future of our country?

President APJ Abdul Kalam: Parents and teachers must constantly be with the children and tell them about the ill-effects of addiction. Also, the law enforcing agencies must ensure that the peddlers do not hover around schools and colleges. In addition, parents should not pamper the children with unlimited amount of pocket money.
