Bharat Ratna Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam delivered
a motivational talk to the students of Jain Vidyaniketan
and Jain International Residential School at Sri
Bhagawan Mahaveer Jain College campus on Sunday,

the students and fielded questions from the students
for over 60 minutes. Sri. R Chenraj Jain,
Chairman, Jain Group of Institutions and Sri.
Kota Harinarayan, distinguished scientist
were present on the occasion.
Dr. Abdul Kalam motivated the
students by talking about his personal experiences
and narrating stories. He quoted the examples
of Wright Brothers who made the impossible
possible by inventing the aeroplane. He urged
the students to forget the word 'Impossible'
and called upon them to Dream - as Dream
transforms into Thought and Thought results in
action.
Answering question of Karan as to what his latest
research was about, he said "My latest research
is about young minds. About how to ignite the
minds of the people to work for the country. I
am convinced that the ignited mind is the most
powerful resource in the whole world. If I can
ignite your mind, the country will prosper."
The children sang in union the Song of Youth with
Dr. Kalam. The song concluded with a pledge by
the student that "I will keep the lamp of knowledge
burning to achieve the vision - Developed India."

in the interaction. Students of Jain
