•Reading Books
Childhood & Early life
•A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was born to Jainulabdeen and
Ashiamma on October 15, 1931. He came from a family
whose financial conditions weren’t sound enough. As a
means to support his family’s meagre income, Kalam
took up odd jobs in his childhood but never gave up on
his education.
•He graduated from Saint Joseph's College,
Tiruchirappalli in 1954 but not satisfied with his degree,
he left for Madras later next year to study aerospace
engineering. He enrolled at the Madras Institute of
Technology (MIT).
Career
•After graduating from MIT, Kalam took up the position of chief scientist at the Aeronautical Development Establishment of Defense Research and Development
Organization (DRDO). However, the profile didn’t appeal Kalam much who shifted to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) where he was the project
director of India's first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle.
•His years at the ISRO were the most crucial ones, as they left a lasting impact on him. Kalam lead many projects and turned out to be successful each time.
•In the 1970s, Kalam directed two projects, namely, Project Devil and Project Valiant, which sought to develop ballistic missiles from the technology of the
successful SLV programme.
•A milestone was achieved when locally built Rohini-1 was launched into space, using the SLV rocket. Upon watching the raving success of Kalam, the
government agreed for initiation of an advanced missile program under his directorship. He played a pivotal role in developing missiles under the missions Agni
and Prithvi.
•Kalam was the Chief Executive of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (I.G.M.D.P) which researched in simultaneous development of a quiver
of missiles instead of taking planned missiles one by one.
•From 1992 until 1999, Kalam was appointed as the Chief Scientific Adviser to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of Defense Research and Development
Organisation. It was during this time that Kalam served as the Chief Project Coordinator for Pokhran II nuclear tests, after which he was fondly called the “Missile
Man of India”.
•Kalam succeeded K. R. Narayan to serve as the 11th President of India from 2002 until 2007. It was a highly one-sided contest. With his appointment, Kalam
became the first scientist and first ever bachelor to occupy the Rastrapati Bhawan.
•During his tenure as a President, Kalam was both appreciated and criticised. The latter was mostly due to his inaction in deciding the fate of 20 mercy
petitioners.
•In addition to all the profiles that Dr Kalam held, he authored numerous influential and inspirational books. Amongst all his books, “India 2020” was the widely
read and appreciated one. It forecast an action plan which advocated India turning into a knowledge superpower and as one of the developed nations of the world
by the year 2020. His other books include, “Ignited Minds”, “Mission India”, “Inspiring Thoughts” and “The Luminous Sparks”.
•In 2011, he launched his mission for the youth of the nation called the “What Can I Give Movement” with the main aim to defeat corruption in India.
•After completing his term as President, Dr Kalam served as visiting professor in various esteemed institutes and universities of India, such as Indian Institute of
Management Ahmadabad and Indore. He also served as Chancellor of Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology Thiruvananthapuram, Aerospace
Engineering at Anna University (Chennai), JSS University (Mysore).
