Ask parents not to resort to corruption: APJ Abdul Kalam to students

Saying that charity begins from home, former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam on Monday asked the students here that they should insist that their parents do not indulge in corruption.

Dr Kalam delivered a lecture on what science can give you at the Holkar Science College.

"A strong Lokpal bill will come, criminals would be sent to jails, one day jails would be filled up, and then we will need homes, beautiful homes, so why not begin from home?" he said.

"If they are indulging in corruption, ask your parents to stop...that is the solution," Kalam said, during an interaction with the students.

He also advised the teaching faculty and researchers to find ways for convergence of local languages in science education.
