India an attractive proposition for a new world order: Kalam

He also spoke about a ‘World Knowledge Platform’,which he said is a logical follow up of two recent achievements by India — Brahmos and the Pan Africa e-network — in collaboration with other countries.

“India is an attractive proposition for a new world order,” he said,and stressed that more collaborations must be pursued for “peace and prosperity”.

Kalam said that he foresees an economic recovery in India fuelled by “rural innovations” and “rural markets” that will play a big role in the GDP,as well as tremendous contribution from small and medium enterprises.

In response to a question as to what the youth can do for the country,he said: “What India needs are employment generators. Entrepreneurs are employment generators and not employment seekers. We need entrepreneurs.”
