27th July marks the death anniversary of APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India. On 2015, “The Missile Man Of India” left behind a generation of inspired youth charged with scientific temperament and a zeal to contribute to society. India is remembering APJ Abdul Kalam on his death anniversary today.

Named as Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born on October 15, 1931, at Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu. He never had an easy going path as a student, filled with hardships and struggles. There was a point in his life, when he used to sell newspapers from door to door to support his family and education.

Owing to his undying dedication towards education, he braved all odds to achieve excellence not only in academics; but also held the highest constitutional post in India and will continue to remain as a role model for generations to come.

Dr Kalam pioneered the development of the country’s missile projects. In 1997, he was honoured with the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian award in India. He received several other accolades including the Padma Bhushan (1981) and the Padma Vibhushan (1990). In 2002, Dr Kalam secured the position as the 11th President of India. True to his humble character, he always referred to himself as a teacher first.
