WHY HE IS

ADORABLEAS A SON

AS A FATHER

AS A LEADERGentle, Respectful

AS A OPTIMISTIC PERSONALITY


8/15

OPTIMISTIC PERSONALITYReservations & EducationWe feel that reservations are necessary in some areas but they must bebacked up by other actions. Most important is education. It is no usehaving reservations if people cant get educated to fill those

reservations.

ViolenceWhere do we go from here? We are imprisoned by the narrow domesticwalls of Religion , Language , Caste and Region blocking out the clearview of a resurgent nation.

Economy strengtheningIt is very essential that we strengthen our economy to cope with theglobal challenges. If India is to take its rightful place amongst the leadingnations, we need a strong economy and thats what we are doing.

On Women EmpowermentIndian Women have a very raw deal. There is a lot of hypocrisy in oursociety. We elevate the women in everything we say and write but when

it comes to actually doing it, I think she gets a raw deal. She isunderprivileged, she lacks opportunities , she lacks economic strengthand that leads to all sorts of social injustices at work , dowry system . Ifeel that there are many disadvantages classes in India but one groupthat is truly disadvantaged is the Women.


9/15

OPTIMISTIC PERSONALITY

Need to know the real India

From Delhi sometimes things look very simple. Once yougo out , you see immediately whats happening. Whatsgood , whats bad? Where weaknesses are? Where thecorrection needs to be applied? By going around , I thinkwe have been able to change a lot of our problems.Connect Youth & Technology

Our Youth have to be trained to use new technology in allareas especially agriculture where it matters most.
