‘Need leaders from science,engineering’

Our society has been experiencing a revolution of rising expectations.

“In the recent past,we have lived through a period of excessive pessimism and negativism. Our society has been experiencing a revolution of rising expectations. Hopes are high but are often not realised,” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said at the 50th convocation of the IIT-Bombay on Saturday.

He stressed the need for leaders from science and engineering and not just from politics,sports and cinema.

On the economy,he said: “I know in past year India’s economy has slowed but… we can go back to the growth rate of 8 to 9 per cent.”
