About the Legend
</h1>
<p>
☛ A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, in full
Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam,
was born on October 15, 1931, in
Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, India.<br><br>
☛ He served as the 11th President
of India from 2002 to 2007.<br><br>
☛ Kalam earned a degree in
aeronautical engineering from the
Madras Institute of Technology and in
1958 joined the Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO).<br><br>
☛ In 1969, he moved to the Indian
Space Research Organisation, where he
was project director of the SLV-III, the
first satellite launch vehicle that was
both designed and produced in India.
<br><br> ☛ Rejoining DRDO in 1982,
Kalam planned the program that produced
a number of successful missiles, which
helped earn him the nickname <strong>
“Missile Man.”</strong>
<br><br> ☛ Among those successes
was Agni, India’s first intermediate-range
ballistic missile, which incorporated
aspects of the SLV-III and was launched
in 1989.
<br><br> ☛ He also played a
pivotal organisational, technical,
and political role in India's Pokhran-II
nuclear tests in 1998, the first since
the original nuclear test by India in 1974.
<br><br> ☛ From 1992 to 1997 Kalam
was scientific adviser to the defense
minister, and he later served as principal
scientific adviser (1999–2001) to the
government with the rank of cabinet minister.
<br><br> ☛ His prominent role in
the country’s 1998 nuclear weapons tests
solidified India as a nuclear power and
established Kalam as a national hero,
although the tests caused great concern
in the international community.
<br><br> ☛ In 1998 Kalam put
forward a countrywide plan called
Technology Vision 2020, which he described
as a road map for transforming India from
a less-developed to a developed society
in 20 years. The plan called for, among
other measures, increasing agricultural
productivity, emphasizing technology as
a vehicle for economic growth, and
widening access to health care and
education.
<br><br> ☛ Kalam received <b>7</b>
honorary doctorates from <b>40</b>
universities. The Government of India
honoured him with the <b>Padma Bhushan
in 1981</b> and the <b>Padma Vibhushan
in 1990</b> for his work with ISRO and
DRDO and his role as a scientific advisor
to the Government.
<br><br> ☛ In 1997, Kalam received
India's highest civilian honour, the
Bharat Ratna, for his contribution to
the scientific research and modernisation
of defence technology in India.
<br><br> ☛ In 2013, he was the
recipient of the Von Braun Award from
the National Space Society "to recognize
excellence in the management and leadership
of a space-related project".
<br><br> ☛ While delivering a
lecture at the Indian Institute of
Management Shillong, Kalam collapsed and
died from an apparent cardiac arrest on
<b>27 July 2015</b>, aged 83.
<br><br> ☛ Wheeler Island, a
national missile test site in Odisha, was
renamed <b>Kalam Island</b> in September
2015.
<br><br> ☛ A prominent road in
New Delhi was renamed from Aurangzeb
Road to <b>Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road</b>
in August 2015.
<br><br> ☛ In February 2018,
scientists from the Botanical Survey
of India named a newly found plant
species as Drypetes kalamii, in his
honour.
