India haunted by corruption, money: President Kolkata, July 14: "Sweat, sweat, sweat,' President APJ Abdul Kalam said today, spelling out the recipe for success. The President was replying to a query from a student of the Scottish Church Collegiate School here, who wanted to know the secret of his success. Taking part in his trademark interactive session with students of the school at the concluding function of its 175th anniversary celebrations, Kalam touched on a wide range of subjects including astronomy, India's achievements in science, the need for moral education as also the scourge of corruption. ''This nation is haunted by corruption, of power and money. Now, the time has come when only the youth can change the system,'' the President said, and dictated a oath to the students that they would strive to create a corruption-free India. ''West Bengal has played a pioneering role in our Freedom Movement and also in science. Time has come for Bengal to be the pioneer in another big movement (to free the country from corruption),'' the 73 year old space scientist said. Narrating anecdotes about his teachers, Kalam urged school authorities to inculcate strong moral values in students. The President put questions to students and patiently listened to their answers. ''You get 90 marks,'' he said patting a student, who gave a satisfactory reply to one of his queries. ---- everybody knows abt the problem. but what about solution
