Abdhul Kalam

Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam Former president of India, inaugurated the Deshpande Center for Social Entrepreneurship, auditorium & Dr.R.H.Kulkarni memorial lecture hall complex on 6^th Feb 09 through lighting the lamp. I was excited to meet him and to take photo with him. As usual he showed great interest interacting with students & youth. His way of speech inspired & kept everyone active he also interacted with students by addressing to some of their questions, such as:  How many of you want to join industry? How many of you want to be entrepreneurs? How many of you want to research & teaching? How many of you want to give an out of the box an innovative solution for national problem.

 It does not matter who you are & thinks one is very important to keep in your mind. Have a great aim, Acquire knowledge continuously, Work hard sincerely, Perseverance.  “Problem should not become your captain; you should become  captain of problem solving”  Every sentence was very important that he told like how a leader must be “during failure think it is your mistake when you get successes it goes to team”. Another one is “low aim is crime “successful people drive by their inner force by bigger dream. The dream won’t allow sleeping.

 He has given example of infosys Narayanmurthi & Gururaj deshpande. They will think only about thousand, lack & million not on ten or hundreds. He shared about Pura scheme. Lastly, he asked us to tell words “I can do, we can do, India will do”.

Later Mrs. Sudha murthi spoke, it was special that it was in Kannada which attracted everyone. She was the student of BVB Engineering College and she said that, “Behind every successful man there is a women, but behind my success its man, husband Mr.Narayanmurthi”.  Then, Mr.Gururaj Deshpande addressed people, He told about entrepreneurship, in motivational Idea & always he thinks about big aim. In the next year Deshpande foundation is going to do 10,000 lead activities.  There after Mr.Narayan Murthi addressed the people by his inspiration speech, regarding campus selection when student are selected through campus interview during 6^th sem, they lose interest in his study.

It was memorable day for me. It was great opportunity to meet such great legendaries.
