This poem by Dr.Kalam must be a sankalp for all citizens – that we will build our great nation into a strong Republic .

Song of Youth – Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam 

As a young citizen of India, armed with technology, knowledge and love for my nation, I realize, small aim is a crime.

I will work and sweat for a great vision, the vision of transforming India into a developed nation, powered by economic strength with value system

I am one of the citizens of the billion; Only the vision will ignite the billion souls.
It has entered into me ; The ignited soul compared to any resource is the most powerful resource on the earth, above the earth and under the earth.

I will keep the lamp of knowledge burning to achieve the vision – Developed India

If we work and sweat for the great vision with ignited minds, the transformation leading to the birth of vibrant developed India will happen.

I pray the Almighty: “May the divine peace with beauty enter into our people; Happiness and good health blossom in our bodies, minds and souls”.
