“Tributes to our former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. He is greatly admired for his contribution to our nation as a scientist and as a President who struck a chord with every section of society,” tweeted PM Modi.
From being the people’s President to spearheading the development of the most significant Indian missiles, late President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam contributed to the development of the country in different spheres.
As an aerospace scientist, Kalam worked with India’s two major space research organisations – Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
For his work in the stream of science and politics, the 11th President was also awarded with India’s highest civilian honour or the Bharat Ratna.
Kalam breathed his last on July 27, 2015, while delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management Shillong when he collapsed and died from a cardiac arrest.
His contributions are still remembered as some of the best scientific and technological developments in the country.
The Congress in its Twitter handle paid tribute to former President APJ Kalam writing , On his birth anniversary, we pay tributes to the ‘People’s President’, Aerospace Scientist & Bharat Ratna awardee, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Regarded as the ‘Missile Man’ of India, he contributed not only to the field of science but also inspired the youth to think big in life.
