     Summary

India has a rich heritage and a talented workforce, and is emerging as a knowledge society. Yet, over 26% of the population is below the poverty line; illiteracy and large scale unemployment persist. Over the years, the authors have interacted with people from all walks of lie. During these interactions, they could perceive a strong desire of the people to live in a prosperous, peaceful and safe India. Moreover, they realized that technology is the engine which is capable of leading the nation towards growth and prosperity. These factors spurred the authors to write this book. The authors dwell on the vision and emphasise the mission for people from all walks of life for actualizing a developed India by 2020.
