Vision / Mission (குறிக்கோள்)

The vital message of the Couplet given at the end of this post, is demonstrated by citing some great achievers  in private sector as well as in government. 

The phenomenal rise of Reliance Industries from a small textile firm to multi-product conglomerate, figuring in fortune 500 firm is credited only to the great visionary Dhirubai Ambani who started his life as an assistant in a petrol bunk. He could achieve all this within a span of 4 decades  surpassing traditional biggroups like the Tata  or Birla. 

Another is Dr. Vikram  Sarabhai who dreamt Indian satellites launched by indigenous developed rockets in orbit, by ISRO the organisation he founded, when ‘pencil’ Rockets developed by it were exploding on ground. He was  the force behind India joining the prestigious club of 6  nations which had the capacity to  launch satellites with their own rockets. The significance of this can be understood only when one traces the history of  failures of technically advanced nations like the UK, after several attempts finally abandoning the project after huge investment. The  achievement is underscored  by the complexity of the technology which even now is  zealously guarded by all developed  countries. ISRO could achieve this feat with 95 percent Engineers qualified in Indian universities, with minimum development cost. 

Similarly, Homi Baba for establishing Baba Atomic Research center and Agricultural Scientist Dr.Swaminathan for Green Revolution in India should be credited for their unparalleled achievement . Our Missile man Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam demonstrated that, how a poor boy with lofty from a fishermen family at Rameswaram could come up in life to become the figure head  in  the development of the first Indian made Rocket capable of launching a satellite in space. He went on to head DRDO and became Defense Adviser to Government of India, laid the foundation for development of Modern ballistic Missile and played a commanding role in perfecting underground  nuclear tests. He was awarded Bharat Ratna the top civilian honor bestowed by Government of India. He also became The President of India and the most loved one by all. He inspired young Indians with his walk the talk life. His success can be attributed to single minded devotion, dedication and unwavering hard work to carry out his duties.Incidentally, he is an ardent follower of Tirukkural.

Rajagopal, owner of Hotel Saravana Bhavan started his career as a cleaner in hotel. Today, Saravan  Bhavan has 25 outlets in India   and 22 outlets in 7 countries. Initially, he started a provision store in K K Nagar in Chennai and subsequently,ventured in to Hotel business by purchasing a loss making Hotel. Because of no experience in running a hotel he and his partner Ganapathi worked very hard from 6.00 am to 11.00 pm and incurred loss as he had determined to maintain quality. Still he persisted in his goal undaunted, of providing tasty hygienic food and started breaking even within 6 months. Rest is history.  It is not out of place to quote old saying “ Lack of vision is worse than  Blindness”.

One common factor among these great men is their firm commitment to their set Mission and undaunted efforts towards achievement of it against any odds.
