Small acts can drive reforms. What appears minor can actually be vital and fundamental. Generating 20,000 MW of power attracts a lot of attention. That is important. At the same time, 20,000 MW of power can be saved through a people's movement for energy efficiency. The second is more difficult but is as important as the first. Small indeed, is beautiful.

I dream of a Digital India where the world looks to India for the next Big Idea.

We do not need men and women from other planets to develop India. Our people, our youth are skilled.

Can't India dream of exporting teachers of high calibre? Can't we instil the desire in children to become great teachers?

Yoga has spread harmony between man and nature. It is a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.

People of India who work day and night, they are my inspiration. I look at them and I work even harder.

Earlier the world was bi polar. Foreign policy would be centered around two super powers. India was a little late in realizing that this bi polar situation was for namesake. Now the entire world, in changed circumstances, especially in 21st century, it is more interdependent and inter connected, earlier, the foreign policy was possible between governments, but today it is not possible just between governments. Government relations are important but increasing people to people contact is equally important. There's been a shift in paradigm.
