A brief bio
Bharat Ratna Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, generally known as
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, was the 11th President of India (2002-07). He
was elected against Lakshmi Sehgal in 2002 and had support from both
the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Indian National Congress, the two
leading parties of Indian politics. By profession he was a scientist and an
administrator in India. He worked with Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) and Defense Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO) as an aerospace engineer before becoming the
President of India. His work on the development of launch vehicle and
ballistic missile technology had earned him the name of the 'Missile Man
of India'. The Pokhran-II nuclear tests conducted in India in 1998 after the
age-long original nuclear test of 1974 saw him in a pivotal political,
organisational and technical role.
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was the visiting professor at the Indian Institute of Management, Indore; the Indian
Institute of Management, Ahmadabad; and the Indian Institute of Management, Shillong. He was a professor of
Aerospace Engineering at the JSS University in Mysore and at the Anna University in Chennai, apart from
being an adjunct and visiting faculty at other research and academic institutions in India. He was the honorary
fellow of the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and the Chancellor of Indian Institute of Space Science and
Technology at Thiruvananthapuram.
In his book India 2020, he has recommended plans to make the nation a fully developed one by the year 2020.
His interactions with the student community and his motivational speeches have made him quite popular
among the youth. In 2011 he launched a mission called 'What Can I Give Movement' aimed at the youth of
India, which focused on defeating corruption in the country.
Detailed Personal Background
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was born to a poor Tamil Muslim family on 15 October 1931 at Rameswaram in the
state of Tamil Nadu, India. His father, Jainulabdeen, was a boat owner, and his mother, Ashiamma, was a
homemaker. He started working at a young age to support his father. He received average grades in school but
was seen as a hardworking and bright student with a strong desire to learn things. He used to study for hours,
especially mathematics. He completed his schooling from Rameshwaram Elementary School. In 1954 he
graduated in Physics from St. Joseph's College in Tiruchirappalli, which was then affiliated to the University of
Madras. Thereafter in 1955 he moved to Madras and joined the Madras Institute of Technology and studied
aerospace engineering. His dream was to become a fighter pilot but he was ranked ninth while the IAF offered
only eight slots. He was a bachelor.
Death
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam passed away on 27 July 2015 due to a massive cardiac arrest after he collapsed during
a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management, Shillong.
Journey and Achievements as a Scientist
2. After completing his graduation in 1960, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam joined as a scientist in Defense
Research and Development Organisation's Aeronautical Development Establishment.
At the very start of his career he designed a small helicopter for the Indian army.
He also worked under the renowned scientist Vikram Sarabhai as a part of the committee of
INCOSPAR.
From 1963 to 1964 he visited the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; the Wallops
Flight Facility located at the Eastern Shore of Virginia; and the Langley Research Center of Nasa
situated at Hampton Virginia.
In 1965, he, for the first time, worked independently in Defense Research and Development
Organisation on an expandable rocket project. The programme was expanded in 1969 and more
engineers were included after receiving government's approval.
He became the Project Director of India's first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-III) when he
was transferred in 1969 to Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). In July 1980 his team was
successful in deploying the Rohini satellite near the orbit of the Earth.
Dr. Kalam's efforts in developing the projects on SLV-III and Polar SLV from 1970s to 1990s proved to
be successful.
Dr. Kalam directed Project Valiant and Project Devil that aimed at developing ballistic missiles using
the technology of the SLV programme that was a success. It is known that the then Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi, using her discretionary powers, allotted secret funds when these aerospace projects
were disapproved by the Union Cabinet.
Dr. Kalam and Dr. V.S. Arunachalam, on the proposal of the then Defense Minister R. Venkataraman,
worked on developing a quiver of missiles instead of one at a time. Dr. Kalam was made the Chief
Executive of the programme, which was named Integrated Guided Missile Development programme.
From July 1992 to December 1999 he remained the Secretary of the Defense Research and
Development Organisation, and also the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Prime Minister. This period
witnessed the Pokhran II nuclear tests, when Dr. Kalam played a key technological and political role.
At the time of the testing phase, he, along with R. Chidambaram, was made the Chief Project
Coordinator.
He developed a low-cost Coronary Stent along with Dr. Soma Raju, a cardiologist, in 1998. It was
named "Kalam-Raju Stent" after them. Both of them also designed a tablet PC called "Kalam-Raju
Tablet" for healthcare in rural areas.
Dr. Kalam's Tenure as President of India
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government on 10 June 2002 proposed Dr. Kalam's name for
the Presidential post to the Leader of Opposition, Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
The Nationalist Congress Party and the Samajwadi Party supported his candidature.
Dr. Kalam served as the President of India from 25 July 2002 to 25 July 2007.
He won the election, getting 922,884 votes, thus defeating Lakshmi Sehgal, who got 107,366 votes.
3. Dr. Kalam succeeded K.R. Narayanan as the 11th President of India.
He was the third President of India to have received the prestigious Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian
honour. It was earlier given to Dr. Sarvapali Radhakrishnan in 1954 and Dr. Zakir Hussain in 1963.
He was the first bachelor and scientist to reside in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Dr. Kalam was affectionately called the People's President.
According to him the toughest decision taken by him as President was signing the Bill of Office of
Profit.
He was criticized as a President for his inaction to decide the fate of 20 mercy petitions out of 21,
including that of the Kashmiri Terrorist Afzal Guru, who was convicted for the Parliament attacks in
December 2001.
Honours and Awards
The United Nations has recognized Dr. Kalam's 79th birthday as "World Student's Day".
