Stating that reconstruction of the country should be our immediate priority, Mr. Naidu said that greater attention should be given to the development of research and science followed by the needs for food and economic security.
Mr. Naidu lauded Mr. Sateesh Reddy for achieving top laurels at a young age as a close follower of former president and missile scientist A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

Nellore MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy said Mr. Sateesh Reddy’s achievement showed that there was a lot of young talent available in almost every field in the country, but sadly the political field was somewhat failing to attract such progressive individuals.
