With the passing away of Dr. APJ
Abdul Kalam on 27-07-2015 in
Shillong, The contemporary era of innovative approach to space faced a sad day. Dr Kalam was a towering profile in India's scientific fraternity par excellence in the field of DRDO, aeronautic space research and aeronautic engineering. He was born in a small village of Rameshwaran in a middle class Muslim family in Tamil Nadu in 1931. He rose to the highest rank of greatest scientist and India 11th president by the dint of hard work, education, intelligence, dedication, honesty and education to the cause and the mission before him in his life. There was a time when Dr. Kalam family had no money for paying his school fee. But no body knew that this poor boy will change the face of India in the years to come. He was a educationist, a teacher, a scientist, an engineer and a president of common people of India especially had a great love for children and students. He was very famous in the student community. He was popularly known as "Missile man of India". He was the responsible for four types of Missiles Agni, Prithvi etc

These missiles were developed under integrated guided missile development programme (IGMDP). The IGMDP was launched in 1983 for the development of comprehensive range of missiles. The launching of various space vehicles lie SLV - 3, SLV - 3 D2, PSLV- 4, GSLV - 4, PSLV - CII, PSLV - C14, PSLV C19 made India a super power in the field of missile production like other super powers in the world. He was source of inspiration to younger generation. He always guided youths for India's development in the field of agriculture production so that the number of people living below poverty line decreases and poverty allivation programme is carried forward, create more opportunities for youths employment. He always worried for India's development and remained a true nationalist. He was no doubt a bachelor and being Muslim a complete vegetarian. He studied many religious books and had deep knowledge of most of the holy books like Bhagwat Geeta, Bible, books on Buddhists, Sikh history and many more. He wrote many books which include Ignited minds, unleashing the power with in India, you are born to blossom, my journey India 2020 - a vision for new millennium and wings of fire. He was one of the highly decorated president of Indian and a scientists with Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Bharat Ratna awards. Dr Kalam was a god gifted person and with tremendous qualities and visions. He truly loved Indian and people of India. In his book India 2020, He greatly emphasized on five points formula for speedy development of India in various fields so that India can become a super power in the world like Agriculture sector, food processing, education, health care, information and communication technology quality electric power , surface transport infrastructure on self reliance in critical etomology. Dr Kalam can only be felt and can not be expressed in words. India can not produce kalam in near future. He was a unique personality I am deeply hurt due to his sudden death. Nation cannot forget such a noble soul and always indebted to his contributions and cause for which he lived and died for India. He was a tireless worker and always worshipped work culture. He never felt shyness even working with his juniors. Being president of great republic of India. He always had a tendency to mix up with people used to become satisfied while interacting with common man and particularly youths and children. He was a visiting professor for more than 40 universities and had honorary degrees of doctorate from these universities. He was very active even at the age of 83 and end came only at the time when he was delivering lecture in IIT Shillong. So Dr Kalam entire life was full of dedication towards cause which he was in the process of accomplishing when he fell down on the dais and collapsed. He died like a saint because saints die without any pain, illness and agony Dr Kalam work, contribution and a non political president ship shall be remembered in the years to come and his love and passion for India becoming superpower shall be written in the history of India in golden words. His death is irreparable loss to nation. God rest his soul in peace and give strength to all his followers to raise to the occasion and start a fresh where Dr. Kalam left. It will be a great tribute to a man who lived and died for India.
