"A developed India by
2020 , or even earlier, is not a dream. It need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up - and succeed." - A P J Abdul Kalam.The vision has inspired a young group of people to start a movement which has been named
DreamIndia2020 (http://www.dreamindia2020.org/),OurINDIA2020 (http://ourindia2020.com/) andBharat2020 (http://www.bharat2020.org/). This has been pioneered by a group of young professionals who share the vision given by Dr. Kalam and are trying to realize this through their little but yet significant efforts.
