Our generation is struggling to find principled leaders in the public and political landscape. During our independence movement, the courageous and visionary leaders surrendered themselves selflessly in service of the nation, to realize their idea of India. Today, a lot of motivated and talented young leaders often do not choose the path of public service. 

During the Indian independence movement, our founding mothers and fathers gifted the country an independent future. A future envisioned for a democratic ideal towards sarvodaya. More than seven decades later, democracy is working not for all, but only a few.

As we reflect, one of the many reasons is the dearth of principled leadership in public service. Today, India needs its best hearts and heads to serve, and nurture them as a cadre of enterprising and moral public servants.
