I dream of a Digital India where technology ensures the Citizen-Government interface is incorruptible.
India is once again ready to play the role of 'Vishvaguru' and work towards the benefit of mankind.
I salute the poor of our country who have deposited more than Rs 20,000 crore in Jan Dhan Bank Accounts.
I see the role of IT as a change agent. It empowers, connects and can bind isolated parts of India and create harmony. IT can join people with governments, bridge the gap between demand and supply, and can bring us closer to knowledge.
Convergence of technology is important. One people, one mission, one nation, this will be possible then.
I am happy to note that the BJP as an organization is looking to creatively harness Power of Social Media. We have to ensure our Youth stays engaged in our Democratic process. We have to make our Democratic process accessible to them. Social media is an important tool for this.
The life of Gautama Buddha illustrates the power of service, compassion and, most importantly, renunciation. He was convinced that material wealth is not the sole goal.
Hindu philosophy was one of the greatest beneficiaries of the advent and the teachings of the Lord Buddha. I revere Buddha as a reformer of not only Hinduism but also the world, who has given all of us a new world view and vision which is critical for the survival of all of us and the entire world.
Buddha is the crown jewel of the Indian nation which accepts all ways of worship of all religions. This quality of Hinduism in India was a product of many great spiritual masters chief among them was Buddha. And this is what sustains the secular character of India.
From snake - charmers, we are now a nation of mouse- charmers. Our youngsters are shaping the world with the click of a mouse with their feats in the IT sector.
The government would devote all its effort to empower the poor and give them strength to fight poverty. Skill development would be accompanied by the spirit of Shrameva Jayate.
The 'Idea of India' is an India of opportunity and aspiration. An India where: all are prosperous and happy, all are free from illness.
We will form an army of poor, where every poor will be a soldier and we will win the war against poverty on behalf of their strength.
I dream of an India that is a hub of opportunities. We can't restrict ourselves to skills only, we need to encourage entrepreneurship.
