1. Why can't we have a Space Institution like NASA?

Ans: We have the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), which is equivalent to NASA.

2. On one hand we are talking about bringing 100% literacy in the country. On the other hand, day by day the education is becoming more and more expensive. How can a rational balance be brought about between the two. Is it possible? If so, how?

"Teachers' role in Nation Building"

I am indeed delighted to participate in the Teachers award function. I realize it is very important to recognize teachers from different schools. My greetings to all the awardees, who have worked consistently for many years, to achieve this recognition.

I would consider it appropriate to hear the experiences of some of you during this occasion which will enable other teachers to emulate in their profession.

I am indeed delighted to participate in this beautiful function and launch the Digital Library of India Portal.

It is an important programme piloted by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT). My greetings to all of you.
