If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.

Do we not realize that self respect comes with self reliance?

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

We need to create brand institutions. In the fortune 500 companies, 5 Indian companies are named while 15 are from China though we have similar kind of populations.

Behind the parents stands the school, and behind the teacher the home.

Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep.

One lesson that every nation can learn from China is to focus more on creating village-level enterprises, quality health services and educational facilities.
