| Title | Beyond 2020: A Vision for Tomorrow's India |
| Author(s) | A.P.J. Abdul Kalam;Y. S. Rajan |
| Publication | Gurgaon, Penguin, 2014. |
| Description | xxi, 281p. |
| Abstract Note | In 1998, Dr Kalam and Y.S Rajan published the now iconic India 2020, a vision document for the new millennium that charted how India could become one of the top five economic powers in the world by 2020. Sixteen years later, as the year 2020 approaches, it is time to take stock of how much India has achieved and what lies ahead.In many ways, Indias growth story in the twenty - first century has been hamstrung by missed opportunities and slowdowns in project execution, but it has also been marked by new opportunities and emerging technologies that make faster and more inclusive growth viable. A renewed policy focus is now needed for agriculture, manufacturing, mining, the chemicals industry, health care and infrastructure to invigorate these sectors and boost economic growth, argue Kalam and Rajan. Alongside, education, job creation, emerging technologies, biodiversity, waste management, national security and the knowledge economy are some of the other vital areas that we need to build on as we look beyond 2020. India can still make it to the list of developed nations in a decade. Beyond 2020 provides an action plan for that transformation. |

| Title | My journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions |
| Author(s) | A.P.J. Abdul Kalam |
| Publication | New Delhi, Rupa and Co., 2013. |
| Description | xii, 147p. |
| Abstract Note | From a small boy growing up in Rameswaram, to becoming the country's eleventh President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's life has been a tale of extraordinary determination, courage, perseverance and the desire to excel. In this series of anecdotes and profiles, Dr. Kalam looks back on key moments in his past some small and some momentous and tells the reader how each of them inspired him profoundly. With warmth and affection, he talks about the people who left a deep impression on him as he was growing up and as an adult and the lessons he drew from his interactions with them. He describes those who have been the closest to him - his father with his deep love of God, his mother and her great kindness, his mentors who helped shape his thoughts and outlook. There are heart-warming accounts here of his childhood years spent in a small town by the Bay of Bengal and the many struggles and sacrifices made on the path to becoming a scientist and then the President of India. Dr. Kalam also writes about the times when failure and dejection nearly overtook him and how he prevailed over those obstacles by drawing strength from books and spirituality. Nostalgic, honest and deeply personal, My Journey is the story of a life as rich as it is unusual and the beautiful lessons to be learnt from it. |
