Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘New India’ will actually redeem former president APJ Abdul Kalam’s ‘Vision 2020’, Union minister Jitendra Singh said on Monday.
The Minister of State, Prime Minister’s Office, made the remarks while delivering the A P J Abdul Kalam Memorial lecture here.
He also gave away A P J Abdul Kalam Memorial Awards to bureaucrats for working in public interest.
Singh said Prime Minister Modi’s ‘New India’ will actually redeem Kalam’s ‘Vision 2020’, according to an official statement.
He said that ‘Vision 2020’ was not only a numerical vision, but actually a vision of ‘New India’ also envisaged by Prime Minister Modi.
In his lecture, Singh said that being associated with Kalam was a learning and hugely inspiring experience.
