For transforming India into a developed nation by 2020 ?we need peace. To ensure this, naturally security and national defence are very important, which you are doing working for. Services are asking for various force multipliers such as missiles, electronic warfare systems, sonar?s, underwater systems etc., But most important contribution that you have to make is that, in future there will not be exclusive defence or commercial technology, there will be only one technology used for both with certain modifications. Particularly, BEL can play a very important role, in generation of big terrestrial solar power panel and high efficiency solar cells with using Gallium arsenide. I was told that 2 million cells phones are sold in the market every month, but they are all imported. Times has come for BEL and other institutions in India to start manufacturing the systems, subsystems and components and produce them indigenously. Also, BEL can establish a BEL Brand EVM and market aggressively in the international market. By 2020, the demand pattern will multiply for entertainment electronics transforming into infotainment, which will provide a big business opportunity.
