Maurya, Regional Director of the Board, said that despite boasting of one of the oldest and most developed civilization, Indians were not interested in developing their hidden talent. "This is the reason that the country is regarded as a developing nation," he added. Prof. Kripa Shankar, Deputy Director of IIT Kanpur, said that development of human nature was the primary quality for human resource development and the primary target of the programme was to encourage hidden talent of the laborers and bring their institutions on the top.

He lamented that people were running here and there in search of happiness.
