India Lost its 'INSPIRATION'. We lost the Teacher of Our Nation. RIP Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

[idesigners]

Former President APJ Abdul Kalam who became popular as ‘People’s President’ died today after he suffered a massive cardiac arrest and collapsed during a lecture at the IIM here this evening



Born in 1931 in Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu in a poor family, he studied aeronautics engineering from Madras Institute of Technology-Madras.



Kalam was considered the brain of missile programme in India and as Chief Scientific Adviser to Vajpayee he was also instrumental in the Pokhran nuclear tests in 1998.



He had the distinction of becoming the first President to fly a Sukhoi fighter jet, go in a submarine and visit high-altitude Siachen besides LoC. He was also the first President to address the Indian Science Congress in 90 years.



As President, Kalam utilised any opportunity that came to him to address students, especially school children, to dream big so that they became achievers in life.



A bachelor, the former President was a veena player and was deeply interested in Carnatic music. He was vegetarian all his life
