[edit] A quote
"A developed India by 2020, or even earlier, is not a dream. It need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up - and succeed." - A P J Abdul Kalam.
The vision has inspired a young group of people to start a movement which has been named DreamIndia2020 (http://www.dreamindia2020.org/). This has been pioneered by a group of young professionals who share the vision given by Dr. Kalam and are trying to realize this through their little but yet significant efforts.
