This document summarizes Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam's visits to the state of Jharkhand in India to promote development. During his four visits, he observed the state's rich natural resources and hardworking people, but was disappointed by a lack of industrial development and "compartmentalized thinking." He encouraged students to work hard and believed the state could develop through an integrated, "mission mode" approach that adds value to local raw materials instead of just exporting them.
