'''''India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium''''' is a book, written by the former [[President of India]] [[A P J Abdul Kalam]] and [[Y. S. Rajan]]. The book was written by the duo in the year 1998, before Kalam's tenure as President.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://penguin.co.in/book/non-fiction/india-2020/|title=India 2020|website=[[Penguin India]]|access-date=2018-08-10|language=en-US}}</ref> It talks about Kalam's ideas for India's future and for developing India.

== Overview ==
The book examines in depth the weaknesses and strengths of [[India]], and offers a vision of how India can emerge to be among the world's top four economic powers by the year 2020. The Vision is dedicated to a ten-year-old girl whom Kalam met during one of his talks and asked her about her ambitions, to which the young girl replied, "I want to live in a developed India."{{sfn|Kalam|Rajan|1998|loc=Dedication}}

In his book ''India 2020,'' Kalam strongly advocates an action plan to develop India into a strong nation by the year 2020. He regards his nation as a knowledge superpower and developed nation. The book describes the present and future scenario in India and [[Developed country|developed countries]]. It compares the various statistical data and explains how India can improve it. Kalam explains the importance of [[science]] and [[technology]] for the development of India.

In chapter 1 of the book the authors stress the importance of a vision for India, using nations like [[United States|US]], [[China]], [[Malaysia]], and [[Israel]] as examples.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.seeken.org/india-2020-vision-new-millennium-book-summary/|title=India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium - Book Summary|date=2017-07-30|work=SeeKen|access-date=2018-08-10|language=en-US}}</ref> However, they also point out that this vision should be original, rather than imitating other nations.

In the book, Kalam had also said that it should be the dream of all the citizens to see India as a developed country.

== Reception ==
According to ''[[The Times of India]]'', "Seldom does one, in these troubled times, see such a lucid marshaling of facts and figures to bolster the thesis that India is mere two decades away from super-power status".{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} [[The Statesman (India)|''The Statesman'']] reviewed the book as, "A book of revelation in a plain wrapper".{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

The book has been translated into multiple languages.

== Chapters ==
The book has about 300 pages which are divided into 13 chapters.{{sfn|Kalam|Rajan|1998|loc=Contents}}
