It is an exciting age of science and technology in which we live. If these great achievement are used properly we can build a world free hunger, oppression disease and privation. But it is a big ' if '.
Our consciences seem to be dulled by crimes and outrages. In the last war the scientific achievement were destroyed into manifestations of horror. It is the violence in our hearts that accounts for great wars. Man himself is the present crisis. He is the greatest danger.
If we take along view of human evolution we will find that man has grown through tenderness, compassion and endurance and not through anger, greed and passion.
Engineering Education should undergo significant changes. You must emphasize not merely quantity but quality. People will put up with any amount of frustration If we use well the resources available, material and monetary. We may perhaps have to tighten up administration.
Inadequate government policy and weak administration impede progress and development as much as lack of capital and inefficient methods of production.
Building the India of tomorrow, harnessing our water resources, keeping the lines of communication open, building the defences of the country.
The progress of mankind is dependent on the increasing use of our materials. But nature resources are limited so we need to develop the new technology.
