take his words

As you are aware, India is in the mission of bringing prosperity and smiles to the one billion plus people of the country particularly uplifting and improving the quality of life of 220 million people who are at present living below poverty line. While the Indian GDP is growing at over 8% per annum, we need full participation of the people for achieving the required targets of our growth and realizing high national prosperity index. My definition of national prosperity index is equal to GDP plus quality of life with value system. It is essential to ensure that citizens are empowered with good quality of life encompassing right type of food, good habitat, clean environment, affordable healthcare, quality education with value system and productive employment leading to the comprehensive qualitative development of the nation. Innovation is the capital through which we can achieve high level of national prosperity index particularly in the rural sector. What we need is a national mission for nurturing innovation through provision of technological support, funding, identification of market, entrepreneurship to produce in a competitive basis to serve the national and international market. Let us celebrate the success of our rural innovators and convert them as employment generators for rural India.
My greetings to all the award winners. My best wishes to all the members of National Innovation Foundation for success in their mission of making innovation as a way of life for all citizens living in rural areas.
May God bless you.
