There is an imperative need to inculcate in our personal and social life, human values like freedom, equality, social justice, religious tolerance, secularism, environment friendliness, dignity and empowerment of women, and above all a scientific temper for ensuring social and economic reconstruction. However, the scientific temper has to be harnessed not merely for the creamy layers of society. It has to be harmonized with the needs of the poor and the deprived who dwell in 7,00,000 villages of India, many of them living below the poverty line. If they are made to suffer in silence for long, that silence may one day explode with all its fury and destroy the gains of the technological revolution sweeping across our country today. Gandhiji gave this warning to the nation in his lifetime, a warning that we can overlook only at our own peril.
