 Dr. Kalam “Missile Man of India” led ISRO and
missile development programs to show the
potential of homegrown technology. But he was
also a visionary, an educator, and an inspiration in
addition to these achievements. He was a
visionary, educator, and inspiration as well.

The Missile Man of India received adoration and

love from people nationwide because of his
dedication to fostering a stronger nation and his
passionate desire to inspire young people. His
legacy extends beyond scientific achievements; he
symbolizes realized dreams against adversity,
offering hope
 EARLY LIFE

his family in the temple city of Tamil
nadu , Rameswaram, where his father,

housewife. Kalam had four brothers and
one sister in his family, from which he
was the youngest

 Kalam had four brothers and one sister
in his family, from which he was the
youngest. Kalam's ancestors were
wealthy traders and landowners and had
vast land and property tracts. But with
time, their business of ferrying pilgrims
and trading groceries suffered huge
losses due to the Pamban Bridge's
opening. As a result, Kalam's family had
become inadequate and struggled hard
to make a living.

Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam's Biography - Educational
Background of Kalam
Although Kalam had average grades in school, he was
very hard working and had an immense desire to
learn. He spent a lot of time studying and had
developed a particular interest in mathematics.
Kalam left Schwartz higher secondary school after
completing his early education and went to Saint
Joseph's College, Tiruchirapalli. From Saint Joseph's
College, he graduated in physics in 1954. He moved to
Madras in 1955 to study aerospace engineering at
Madras Institute of Technology.
•Kalam joined as a scientist in the
aeronautical development
establishment of DRDO in 1960,
after graduation. His career started
with him designing a small
hovercraft. However, he was not
convinced by his choice of a job at
the DRDO. Kalam was transferred to
ISRO in 1969, where he was the
project director of India's first
satellite vehicle launch
The satellite vehicle deployed the Rohini
satellite successfully in near-Earth orbit in July
1980. Kalam received the Government's LV and
Slv projects between the 1970s-90s. He directed
two projects like Project Devil and Project
Valiant, which aimed at developing ballistic
missiles from the successful SLV program's
technology Kalam somehow convinced Indira
Gandhi and sought secret funds for these
aerospace projects. His research and immense
knowledge brought him and the nation great
laurels in the 1980s.
ABDUL KALAM AS PRESIDENT
 • Sir Kalam was entitled to be the 11th
president of India. His term period of 25th
July 2002 to 25th July 2007 was achieved by
winning a presidential election in 2002 with a
massive margin of votes. National
Democratic Alliances’ nominated him to be
president and it was supported by
Samajwadi Party and National Congress
Party. He was lovingly called as peoples’
president as he had done uncountable works
for the welfare of the people and through
the entire country.
• He was brave and courageous enough to take
decisions and implement them no matter if that
was tough or sensitive or highly controversial.
The “office of profit” is perhaps the hard Act
that he had to sign. The “office of profit”,
according to the English Act of Settlement in
1701 explains that no single individual who has
a professional set up under the royal family,
who has some kind of provision with or who is
taking a pension from the prince has the right
to work for the of the “House of Commons”.
This will allow the royal family to have zero
influence on the administrative conditions.
