Sometimes，I am very sad that even people who do science are quite unscientific in their thinking and in their other actions-not what they are doing in the laboratories but how they live at home or their attitudes towards other people.Now，for India to become what we want it to become with a modern，rational society and firmly based on what is good in our ancient tradition and in our soil，for this we have to have a thinking public，thinking young women who are not content to accept what comes from any part of the world but are willing to listen to it，to analyze it and to decide whether it is to be accepted or whether it is to be thrown out and this is the sort of education which we want，which enables our young people to adjust to this changing world and to be able to contribute to it.
Some people think that only by taking up very high jobs，you are doing something important or you are doing national service.But we all know that the most complex machinery will be ineffective if one small screw is not working as it should and that screw is just as important as any big part.It is the same in national life.There is no job that is too small；there is no person who is too small.Everybody has something to do.And if he or she does it well，then the country will run well.
So，I hope that all of you who have this great advantage of education will not only do whatever work you are doing keeping the national interests in view，but you will make your own contribution to creating peace and harmony，to bringing beauty in the lives of our people and our country.I think this is the special responsibility of the women of India.We want to do a great deal for our country，but we have never regarded India as isolated from the rest of the world.What we want to do is to make a better world.So we have to see India’s problems in the perspective of the larger world problems.
