In A Country Where Employment Opportunities Are

I Look Upon India-u.s. Nuclear Cooperation As An Act Of Historic Reconciliation.

The Indian Economy Grew At 5.5 Percent, But If You Look At The Last 30 Years - For Example, 1960 To 1985 - The Progress Made By East Asian Countries Was Phenomenal. In A Single Generation They Had Been Able To Transform The Character Of Their Economy. They Were Able To Get Rid Of Chronic Poverty.

If We Have Access To Nuclear Energy, That Adds To Our Maneuverability In Ensuring Energy Security As India Marches On, On The Path To Accelerated Development.

I Think Whatever I've Done, I Hope I've Earned A Footnote In India's Long And Tortuous History.

I Do Recognize That India Has To Be The Center, The Hub Of Activity As Far As The Knowledge Economy Is Concerned.
