Gandhi and Nehru and innumerable freedom fighters not only struggled for freedom
but also worked for the eradication of exploitation and poverty and for making
the country self sufficient and strong. This could be achieved only with the
spread of education and rapid industrialization through large scale use of
science and technology. The social goal of better living standards for the
masses can be achieved only with the assurance of external peace and the absence
of internal conflicts along with the development of scientific temper among the
people.
