At the event Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam said, “For success in all missions we need creative leaders. Creative leadership means exercising the vision to change the traditional role from the commander to the coach, manager to mentor, from director to delegator and from one who demands respect to one who facilitates self-respect. The higher the proportion of creative leaders in an organization, the higher the potential of success and the growth of organization and thereby leading to accelerated national economic growth. I am sure, the outreach programme conducted by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises will facilitate generation of large number of entrepreneurial leaders. I was given the advice that if I do a new mission or a complex tasks, I should also expect to experience equally challenging problems. You should not allow the problem to become your captain. You should become the captain of the problem, defeat the problem and succeed. This may be true for every one of you in the decision making process, venture capital acquisition, equipment procurement, commissioning equipment, paying back large loans, acquisition of human resource, training of human resource, marketing of your products and every one of your day-to-day activities as an entrepreneur. Till you break even and start making profit, you will have to have a willpower which is stronger than diamond. I am sure, you will develop this trait and become a very successful entrepreneur.”
He also insisted that we need to have National ethics for sustained growth and peace. He said, “Nation has to have ethics in all its tasks, for sustained economic prosperity and peace. If a nation is to have ethics, society has to promote ethics and value system. If society is to have ethics and value system, families should adhere to ethics and value system. If families have to get evolved with ethics and value system, parenthood should have inbuilt ethics. And if parental ethics come from great learning, value based education and creation of clean environment will lead to righteousness in the heart”. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam concluded his speech saying, “I am sure, this message will inspire all the participants to unleash their capabilities and emerge as great entrepreneurs which will facilitate India to become an economically developed nation by 2020. My best wishes to all the participants success in their entrepreneurial venture.”
