hi all
I am sharing a text of the speech delivered by Dr Y S Rajan (presently Honorary Distinguished Professor of ISRO and Co-Author of the book India 2020 with Dr Abdul Kalam) during CS Memorial lecture held at Chennai on 2nd March 2012.
As you know. Mr C Subramaniam (popularly known as CS), was the Governor of Maharashtra and Chairman of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan. He has served Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi Ministry as a cabinet minister, in-charge of Finance, Science & Technology, Agriculture, Industries, etc. He was a great visionary and brought lot of innovative schemes to develop India. He is the architect of Indian Green Revolution. Dr Manmohan Singh has also worked with Mr CS as bureaucrat.
During 1972, when India was under License Raj and singing the song of Socialism, Mr CS boldly wrote in his book "India of my dreams" as follows:
"Work has to be productive; creation of wealth that is reproductive"
In those days, earning profit was considered as sin, he boldly encouraged that every work had to be productive and also encouraged reproductive wealth. Now his mantra of modernisation is being hailed as a great slogan.
Even way back in 1937, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said that the future belonged to those, who made friends with science. He wanted to eradicate poverty through economic solutions derived from science. What Panditji visualised is happening now. Today, science and technology plays a greater role in developing the economy and eradicating the poverty.
Dr Y S Rajan in his speech interestingly, brought out some of the forgotten heroes and episodes. I am sharing his text of the speech and the connected ppt for the information of members, particularly the younger generation.
