President's Message

By Pramod Goyal

A New Year and a new decade has dawned. A decade that will witness major transformations. We are now in 2020, the year that the late President of India APJ Abdul Kalam visualized India would be a developed country. The Karmayogi had observed that “A developed India should be able to take care of its strategic interests through its internal strength and its ability to adjust itself to the new realities. For this it will need the strength of its healthy, educated and prosperous people, the strength of its economy, as well as strength to protect its strategic interests of the day and in the long term.”

As India celebrates its 70th Republic Day, it has achieved President Kalam’s dream “not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially.” Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is regaining its confidence in its abilities to fulfill its dream, achieve its aspirations and overcome obstacles. This is because under the Modi government, India has adopted the approach of “Reform with intent, perform with integrity, transform with intensity.”

On this occasion, it is time for Indians living abroad to introspect and think about how they can contribute to India’s growth story. What role can they play in meeting India’s developmental needs? This is not an abstract notion. I believe that all of us, especially first-generation immigrants, owe our success to India. We may have earned our spurs in foreign lands, but the roots of our success are in India.
