A.P.J Abdul Kalam needs no introduction. Known as the ‘Missile Man of India’, he was the 11th President of India. He worked as an aerospace scientist with India’s two major space organizations- Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
A league apart, Abdul Kalam was a source of inspiration for tens and thousands of Indians. Kalam's prodigious rise from Rameswaram, a small but famous pilgrimage town in Tamil Nadu, led him to become one of the world's most accomplished leaders.
His contributions have enabled scientists, educationists, and writers across the country, and have encouraged every Indian citizen to dream and achieve extraordinary things in life despite adverse conditions.
Here are eleven quotes by the leader who was passionate about his work and his love for science, technology and innovation have led to some of the most crucial satellite launches along with the development and operationalization of the Agni and Prithvi missiles:
