Pathways to Greatness

What makes a nation great? Is it simply economic prosperity and military strength -- or something more? What is it that we as a nation require to make that last-mile journey to what all the plans investments and projects are meant to lead up to?

It is only a matter of time before India is termed economically developed. But a nation has to learn to survive in tough times too. And for that what is most important is national character born out of the value systems that exist in our families what schools teach students and the culture of the nation.
