I have met 18 million youth, and each wants to be unique.

Is he [youth] not the inventor and owner of the present, and sole hope of the future?

I would like to ask you, what would you like to be remembered for? You should write it down. It could be an important contribution, whether it is an invention, an innovation or a change that you bring about in society that the nation will remember you for.

When I took over as president, I studied the Constitution, and the more I studied it, the more I realised that it does not prevent the president of India from giving the nation a vision. So when I went and presented this vision in Parliament and in legislative assemblies; everyone welcomed it, irrespective of party affiliations.

It was exciting that such new technology was being developed in our nation which had become independent only two decades back. From a country that had been left ravaged by years of colonization, we had learnt to dream big and were working on fulfilling this dream fearlessly.

Youth doesn't take advice.
