He was earnestly contributed and involved in getting India to adopt all the recent scientific advancements.

The mentioned achievements led India to attain newer heights and gained security and strategic strength, in few of the missions such as: The MARS ORBITER MISSION, CIVIL NUCLEAR ENERGY COOPERATION AND THE DEFENCE UPGRADATIONS.

These are some of the recent developments, can be seen as extended efforts of this great scientist who come from the down south of India.

He was a great orator as well, throughout his life he dedicated to the cause of inspiring and motivating students across country starting from the primary level to the University level. He wrote many books as about his experiences and achieving higher objectives for a better country.

He failed to become a pilot and became a scientist instead. Started his career designing a small helicopter and reached to developed a cheap stent for the heart and a rugged tablet computer, in the midst of everything, APJ Abdul Kalam steered India’s space, missile and nuclear programs. He gave India an all encompassing and futuristic solution to technology and space domain. APJ is no more but his legacy will live forever. He wore too many names in his life- mentor to scientists, promoter of rural development, and consultant to heads of states and institutions and exceptional nuclear development strategist.


APJ Abdul Kalam reinforces beliefs of today’s youth. He said “We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream! Conduct these dreams into thought, and then transform them into action.”
