Life of Dr. Kalam
Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam (15 October 1931 ‐ 27 July 2015) was an Indian aerospace scientist, who served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007.
He was born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu (India) and studied physics and aerospace engineering.
He spent the next four decades as a scientist and science administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and was intimately involved in India's civilian space programme and military missile development efforts.
He thus came to be known as the Missile Man of India for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology.
Widely referred to as the People's President, he returned to his civilian life of education, writing and public service after a single term.
He was a recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award of India. Read more about Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on Wikipedia.
