APJ Abdul Kalam India’s savior for science and technological developments!
It is a huge
loss for India – the passing away of APJ Abdul Kalam, not only as demise of a
former President but as a multi-disciplinary strategist who had endowed India
with remarkable sense of self-pride and honour from past many decades. He was
earnestly contributed and involved in getting India to adopt all the recent scientific
advancements. Needless to say that he has played a significant role in
indigenizing technologies that has long been denied or never thought of by
India. He has always been an inspiration for Indian Science & Technology
industry and for all other technology based industry such as IT industry by
inspiring youth to pursue IT training
and certification.
Rightly known as
the ‘missile man’, we all know that he was a pioneer scientist in the space and
nuclear technology as a project Director of ISRO, the director of Defence
research and development organization. Also, he was in charge of the military
and nuclear program. Few of the achievements for which he is recognized:
- First indigenous SATELLITE LAUNCH
VEHICLE III.
- Missile systems - AGNI, PRITHVI &
TRISHUL
- Conducting nuclear tests to establish
India as a NUCLEAR POWER.
The mentioned achievements led India to
attain newer heights and gained security and strategic strength, in few of the
missions such as: The MARS ORBITER MISSION, CIVIL NUCLEAR ENERGY COOPERATION
AND THE DEFENCE UPGRADATIONS.
These are some of the recent developments,
can be seen as extended efforts of this great scientist who come from the down
south of India. Also, he is known for, throughout his journey, making constant
efforts at human resource management and development. He was a great orator as
well, throughout his life he dedicated to the cause of inspiring and motivating
students across country starting from the primary level to the University
level. He wrote many books as about his experiences and achieving higher objectives
for a better country.
He failed to become a pilot and became a
scientist instead. Started his career designing a small helicopter and reached
to developed a cheap stent for the heart and a rugged tablet computer, in the
midst of everything, APJ Abdul Kalam steered India’s space, missile and nuclear
programs. He gave India an all encompassing and futuristic solution to
technology and space domain. APJ is no more but his legacy will live forever.
He wore too many names in his life- mentor to scientists, promoter of rural
development, and consultant to heads of states and institutions and exceptional
nuclear development strategist.
APJ Abdul Kalam reinforces beliefs of today’s youth. He said “We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream! Conduct these dreams into thought, and then transform them into action.”
