We must enable farmers to feed India and the world; and earn a good livelihood.

I see Lord Buddha in the 21st Century across national borders, across faith systems, across political ideologies, playing the role of a bridge to promote understanding to counsel patience and to enlighten us with tolerance and empathy.

The 21st century is the century of knowledge. Knowledge, science and education will have the power and strength to embrace the entire universe.

Nobody wants to remain poor. Those who are poor want to move away from poverty. That is why, all our programmes must be for the poor. All our schemes must serve the poor.

With the gun you can make the earth red but if you have a plough you can make the earth green.

The choices we make now will shape the future of not just our countries, but the world at large. We should intensify our cooperation in confronting global challenges like Terrorism, Cyber Security and Climate Change.

I dream of a Digital India where cyber security becomes an integral part of our National Security.
