7. Contribution to self
 It might well be noted that Dr. Kalam was born to a poor
boatman and his wife at a small village in Chennai called
Rameswaram.
 He didn’t have enough resources for a good career still,
with his persistency and a vision for success, he went on
to be called as the “Missile Man of India.”
 Rocket Science is the word used as a substitute for
impossible tasks, still he became one of the most
successful Rocket Scientist of India.

8.  It should be noted, that Dr. Kalam started work at his
school level, to support his family income. Still with his
consistency he was a excellent student as well.
 He even sold newspapers to support his family as he
believed in quality of work rather than believing in the
level of work.

9. Contribution to Team/Organization

consistency with his team projects during his college days
at MIT.

his support and contribution to his team working on SLV-
III, they successfully launched Rohini satellite.
 Dr. Kalam’s colleagues agreed to his contributor ship to
the organization in his days at ISRO.

10.  In one of a rarely known incident, during the launching of
Rohini Satellite, a fire broke out at the testing lab. And Dr.
Kalam without caring about himself, grabbed some
important papers and with his one of his colleagues,
jumped out of the window.
 Hence saving both his colleague and some research papers
from the massive blast that took place.

K.R Narayan form from 25 July 2002 to 25 July 2007.
