A Manifesto For Change
Publisher: Harper Collins India

Published in 1998, this book forecasts an India in 2020 where the People’ President believes the country will rise among the top five world economies. In a state, when the country had a new government in central, financial crunches and a set of nuclear tests in agenda, Kalam dreamt of a well built nation with the efforts of the nation’s youth. Bridging rural urban differences, up gradation in infrastructure or a politics free country was Kalam’s hopes set for India then.
