It talks about how to make India a developed country, how to reduce the differences between rural and urban areas, and more. All these are to be achieved using science and technology. These 25 years were referred to by the Prime Minister as AMRIT KAAL. And the term was frequently used by the finance minister during Budget presentations. The IISF is striving forward in this context.
