KALAM's WRITINGS:-

In his book India 2020, Kalam strongly advocated an action plan to develop India into a "knowledge superpower" and a developed nation by the year 2020. He regarded his work on India's nuclear weapons programme as a way to assert India's place as a future superpower.

I have identified five areas where India has a core competence for integrated action:    (1) agriculture and food processing;                                                                                      (2) education and healthcare;                                                                                              (3) information and communication technology;                                                                 (4) infrastructure, reliable and quality electric power, surface transport and infrastructure for all parts of the country; and                                                                                          (5) self-reliance in critical technologies.                                                                         These five areas are closely inter-related and if advanced in a coordinated way, will lead to food, economic and national security.

Kalam describes a "transformative moment" in his life when he asked Pramukh Swami, the guru of the BAPS  Swami Narayan Sampradaya, how India might realize this five-pronged vision of development.  Pramukh Swami's answer—to add a sixth area developing faith in God and spirituality to overcome the current climate of crime and corruption—became the spiritual vision for the next 15 years Kalam's life, which he describes in his final book, Trancendene;My Spritual Experiance with Pramukh Swamiji, published just a month before his death.
