Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam pronunction (helpinfo) (born 15

October 1931) usually referred to as Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, is an Indian

scientist and administrator who served as the 11th President of India from

2002 to 2007. Kalam was born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu,

studied physics at the St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli, and aerospace

engineering at the Madras Institute of Technology (MIT), Chennai.

Before his term as President, he worked as an aerospace engineer with

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space

Research Organisation (ISRO). Kalam is popularly known as the Missile Man of

India for his work on the development ofballistic missile and launch vehicletechnology. He played a pivotal organizational, technical and political role in

India'sPokhran-IInuclear tests in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test

by India in 1974. Some scientific experts have however called Kalam a man

with no authority over nuclear physics but who just carried on the works of

Homi J. Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai.

Kalam was elected the President of India in 2002, defeating Lakshmi Sahgal

and was supported by both the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya

Janata Party, the major political parties of India. He is currently a visiting

professor atIndian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and Indian Institute

of Management Indore, Chancellor of the Indian Institute of Space Science and

Technology Thiruvananthapuram, a professor of Aerospace Engineering at

Anna University (Chennai), JSS University (Mysore) and an adjunct/visiting

faculty at many other academic and research institutions across India.

Kalam advocated plans to develop India into a developed nation by 2020 in

his book India 2020. Books authored by him have received considerable

demands in South Korea for the translated versions. He has received several

Early life and Education

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam was born on 15 October 1931 in a Tamil Muslim family to

Jainulabdeen, a boat owner and Ashiamma, a housewife, at Rameswaram,

located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. He came from a poor background

and started working at an early age to supplement his family's income.[10]

After completing school, Kalam distributed newspapers in order to financially

contribute to his father's income. In his school years, he had average grades,

but was described as a bright and hardworking student who had a strong

desire to learn and spend hours on his studies, especially mathematics.

"I inherited honesty and self-discipline from my father; from my mother, I

inherited faith in goodness and deep kindness as did my three brothers and

sisters."

A quote from Kalam's autobiography

After completing his school education at the Rameshwaram Elementary

School, Kalam went on to attend Saint Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli, then

affiliated with the University of Madras, from where he graduated in physics

in 1954. Towards the end of the course, he was not enthusiastic about the

subject and would later regret the four years he studied it. He then moved to

Madras in 1955 to study aerospace engineering. While Kalam was working on

a senior class project, the Dean was dissatisfied with the lack of progress and

threatened revoking his scholarship unless the project was finished within the

next two days. He worked tirelessly on his project and met the deadline,impressing the Dean who later said, "I [Dean] was putting you [Kalam] under

stress and asking you to meet a difficult deadline".

Career as scientist

This was my first stage, in which I learnt leadership from three great

teachersDr. Vikram Sarabhai, Prof. Satish Dhawan and Dr. Brahm Prakash.

This was the time of learning and acquisition of knowledge for me.

Kalam addresses engineering students atIIT Guwahati

In 196364, he visited Nasa's Langley Research Center in Hampton Virginia,

Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland and Wallops Flight

Facility situated at Eastern Shore of Virginia. During the period between the

1970s and 1990s, Kalam made an effort to develop the Polar SLV and SLV-III

projects, both of which proved to be success.

Kalam was invited by Raja Ramanna to witness the country's first nuclear test

Smiling Buddha as the representative of TBRL, even though he had not

participated in the development, test site preparation and weapon designing.

In the 1970s, a landmark was achieved by ISRO when the locally builtRohini-1

was launched into space, using the SLV rocket. In the 1970s, Kalam also

directed two projects, namely,Project DevilandProject Valiant, which sought

to develop ballistic missiles from the technology of the successful SLV

programme. Despite the disapproval ofUnion Cabinet, Prime Minister Indira

Gandhi allotted secret funds for these aerospace projects through her

discretionary powers under Kalam's directorship. Kalam played an integral

role convincing the Union Cabinet to conceal the true nature of these classified

aerospace projects. His research and educational leadership brought him

great laurels and prestige in 1980s, which prompted the government to

initiate an advanced missile program under his directorship. Kalam and Dr. V.

S. Arunachalam, metallurgist and scientific adviser to the Defense Minister,

worked on the suggestion by the then Defense Minister, R. Venkataraman on a

proposal for simultaneous development of a quiver of missiles instead of

taking planned missiles one by one. R Venkatraman was instrumental in

getting the cabinet approval for allocating 388 crore rupees for the mission,

named Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (I.G.M.D.P) and

appointed Kalam as the Chief Executive. Kalam played a major part in

developing many missiles under the mission including Agni, an intermediate

range ballistic missile and Prithvi, the tactical surface-to-surface missile,

although the projects have been criticised for mismanagement and cost andtime overruns. He was the Chief Scientific Adviser to the Prime Minister and

the Secretary of Defence Research and Development Organisation from July

1992 to December 1999. ThePokhran-IInuclear tests were conducted during

this period where he played an intensive political and technological role.

Kalam served as the Chief Project Coordinator, along with R. Chidambaram

during the testing phase. Photos and snapshots of him taken by the media

elevated Kalam as the country's top nuclear scientist.

In 1998, along with cardiologist Dr.Soma Raju, Kalam developed a low cost

Coronary stent. It was named as "Kalam-Raju Stent" honouring them. In 2012,

the duo, designed a rugged tablet PC for health care in rural areas, which was

named as "Kalam-Raju Tablet".

When Dr Kalam's first major project SLV 3-failed the first time he was almost

shattered. Also, around this time, Kalam's childhood mentor, Jallaluddin, died.

"A part of me too passed away..." said Dr Kalam. But he never thought ofquitting after SLV-3. "I knew that for success, we have to work hard and

persevere." And so, SLV-3 was launched again, this time with success. He drew

strength from philosophy, religion and literature to tide by his professional

setbacks; also a life with few companions. In time, he also learnt to deal with

professional jealousy and uncooperative team members.

Kalam played a pivotal organisational, technical and political role in India's

Pokhran-II nuclear test in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test by

India in 1974. He is chancellor of Indian Institute of Space Science and

Technology (Thiruvanthapuram), a professor at Anna University (Chennai)

and adjunct/visiting faculty at many other academic and research institutions

across India.

Success followed Dr Kalam. Prithvi, Agni, Akash, Trishul and Nag missiles

were huge successes. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan and Bharat Ratna,

and then he became the President of India; one of the few presidents who

have touched the hearts of so many poor children in the country. Because he

also came from a poor background, he knew the power of education in

changing one's future.

In spite of his leading role in the development of Indian nuclear programme,

Kalam has received criticism from many of his peers who claimed that he had

"no authority" over nuclear science. Homi Sethna, a chemical engineer

criticised Kalam claiming that Kalam had no background in publishing articles

in nuclear science, even in nuclear physics. Sethna maintained that Kalam

received his masters degree in aerospace engineering, which is a completely

different discipline from nuclear engineering, and what various universities

awarded him for his achievements had nothing to do with nuclear physics.

Sethna, in his last interview, maintained that in the 1950s, Kalam had failed

advanced physics courses during his college life and quoted "What does heknow (about [nuclear] physics)....?", on the national television. Homi Sethna

also accused Kalam of using his presidency to gain a national stature of a

nuclear scientist.

Others felt that Kalam had never worked in any of the Indian nuclear power

plants and had no role in developing the nuclear weapon which was

completed under Raja Ramanna. Kalam worked as an aerospace engineer in a

SLV project in the 1970s and from the 1980s onwards, as a project director

before he moved to Defence Research and Development Organisation.

In 2008, Indian media questioned his claims about his personal contributions

to missile inventions while working in a classified missile programme. The

media questioned Kalam taking credit of inventing the Agni, Prithvi and

Aakash missile system, while all of these were developed, researched and

designed by a group of scientists headed by Kalam and he was involved in

getting the funds and other logistic tasks. R. N. Agarwal, former director,

Advanced System Laboratory and former Program Director of Agni missile

was considered to be the real architect behind the successful design of Agni

Missile.[61][62] In his own biography, Kalam credited the development of Agni

missile to Dr. Ram Narayan Agarwal, an alumnus of MIT. For the Prithvi

missile project, he named Col VJ Sundaram as the brain behind this project

and for the Trishul missile, he gave credit to Commander SR Mohan. In 2006,

senior media correspondent Praful Bidwai, in the The Daily Star, wrote that

two aerospace projects, Project Valiant and Project Devil, which were

authorised by former Premier Indira Gandhi under the directorship of A. P. J.

Abdul Kalam, resulted in "total failure". In the 1980s, these projects were

ultimately cancelled by the government under the pressure of the Indian

Army.Kalam was also criticised by civil groups over his stand on the Koodankulam

Nuclear Power Plant, where he supported setting up of the nuclear power

plant and never spoke with the local people. The protesters were hostile to his

visit as they perceived to him to be a pro-nuclear scientist and were

unimpressed by the assurance provided by him on the safety features of the

plant.
