In 1893 a ship was sailing from Japan to USA. There were hundreds of people in that ship including two significant Indian personalities – swami Vivekananda and jamsetji Nusserwnji Tata. Jamsetji was crossing the Atlantic Ocean to bring steel manufacturing technology for a steel plant which he wanted to set up in India. Earlier jamsetji had gone to England for this purpose, but British steel manufacturers had refused and ridiculed him saying that if Indians would make steel, British would eat it!
Swami Vivekananda asked jamsetji the reason for his traveling to the USA. Jamsetji told him that he wanted to bring the steel industry to India. Swami Vivekananda blessed him and said that steel technology has two components
1. Steel science
2. Manufacturing technology
What you can bring to this country is material technology, but you will have to build material science with in the country. This triggered a dream in Jamsetji’s mind.
Jamsetji was successful in bringing steel technology from the USA and the Tata Iron and Steel Company (TISCO) was established in Jamshedpur. A few years later, in 1898, jamsetji wrote a letter to Swami Vivekananda….
23 November 1898
Dear Swami Vivekananda,
I trust you remember me as a fellow-traveler on your voyage from Japan to Chicago. I very much recall at this moment your views on the growth of the ascetic spirit in India, and the duty, not of destroying, but of diverting it into useful channels.
I recall these ideas in connection with my scheme of research institute for science of which you have doubtless heard or read. It seems to me that no better use can be made of the ascetic spirit then the establishment of monasteries or residential halls for men dominated by this spirit, where they should live with ordinary decency, and devote their lives to the cultivation of sciences-natural and humanistic. I am of the opinion that, if such a crusade in favour of an asceticism of this kind were undertaken by a competent leader, it would greatly help asceticism, science, and I know not who would make a more fitting general of such a campaign than Vivekananda. Do u think you would care to apply yourself to the mission of galvanizing into life our traditions in this respect? Perhaps you had better begin with a fiery pamphlet rousing our people in this matter. I should cheerfully defray all the expenses of its publication.
Jamsetji Nusserwnji Tata
A visionary like jamsetji with the blessings of Swami Vivekananda paved the way for the establishment of the Indian Institute of Science (IISC) IN 1909. The IISC, born out of a vision of two great minds, is a world-class institution in areas such as physics, aerospace technology, knowledge products, bio-science and bio-technology.

In what direction the youngsters should concentrate/contribute to achieve the vision 2020???
you can contribute in 3 ways.....
1)When u r a student, u must excel in your education. If you excel in your education, then whatever is good for the country, whatever you want to achieve, you can achieve in your own profession.
2)You should become employment generators, not employment seekers.
3)You should be a good human being. you can keep your environment clean, you can plant trees, you can educate poor, you can share somebody’s pain…etc.
lets do what india need from us...pawan kumar.gajavalli
According to an estimate more than 100 million tonnes of plastic [around 500 billion (500,000,000,000) plastic bags] is produced every year all over the world.
In India it is 2 million tonnes. In India use of plastic is 2 kg per person per year.
Plastic materials have molecular weight ranging from several thousands to 1, 50,000. Excessive molecular size seems to be mainly responsible for the resistance of these chemicals to biodegradation and their persistence in soil environment for a long time.
Plastic bags are difficult and costly to recycle and most end up on landfill sites where they take around 300 years to photo degrade.
How you can reduce plastic bag use?
Don’t buy more plastic bottled drinks. Carry a plastic bottle with you and refill it.
Refuse plastic bags at the check-out counter:
If a clerk throws your box of soap into a plastic bag, ask him to replace it in one of your bags. Only take a bag at the first shop you visit and use the same bag in subsequent stores.
Donate plastic bags to a good cause:
If you've built up a collection of used plastic bags, consider donating them to a local kirana store, charity shop, library or farmers’ market, where they’ll be put to good use.
Don't throw waste materials with a plastic bag. Most of us, tie up the waste things, particularly food materials and throwing it in dust bin. It also results in the food materials getting degrade and giving a pungent smell.
Make a habit of thinking about what comes with each thing that you buy:
Look for and reward earth-friendly packaging choices. e.g.
• Buy greeting cards in paper boxes instead of clear plastic shells
• Ask your florist for flowers wrapped in paper, not clear film
• Use pens that re-fill instead of land-fill.
Cotton bags are long lasting and come from a renewable source.So Don’t Think of a Plastic Bag
Dishonest industrialists, scandalous politicians and corrupt IAS, IRS, IPS officers, cricketers, film actors, illegal sex trade and protected wildlife operators, to name just a few,have deposited in foreign banks in their illegal personal accounts a sum of about $ 1500 billion, which have been misappropriated by them.
Black money in Swiss banks — Swiss Banking Association report, 2006 details bank deposits in the territory of Switzerland by nationals of following countries:
Indian money in Swiss banks is more than all the other countries combined !!!! This amount is about 13 times larger than the country’s foreign debt($115 billion). Once this huge amount of black money and property comes back to India , the entire foreign debt can be repaid in 24 hours. After paying the entire foreign debt, we will have surplus amount, almost 12 times larger than the foreign debt. With this amount 45 crore poor people can get Rs 1,00,000 each. We can have good roads, free education, stable strong economy, and build all basic operations of the nation.
India is not a poor country. Corruption, bad politics, lack of awareness in people made India like this. so fight against corruption n bad politics…………
