With 750 million people living in villages, India has the largest rural population in the world. Based on his Indian experience, Dr Kalam recommends a sustainable and inclusive development system called PURA - Providing Urban Amenities in Rural Areas - to uplift the rural masses not by subsidies but through entrepreneurship with community participation.

Uma reflexão sobre o que nos amarra e motiva. Nada foi dito sobre qualquer criatura, não há respostas sobre a pane elétrica e de rádio, ninguém sabe nada sobre o comportamento das aves e muito menos o porquê um eclipse solar está durante tantas horas a trazer de volta a idade das trevas. E se na realidade não viram nada nas árvores? Se a histeria coletiva e pessoas de má fé aproveitaram-se do momento para aterrorizar a cidade? Talvez apenas o que faltava era uma oportunidade de as pessoas mostrarem quem realmente são.
