Tributes to our former President, the person who captured the imagination of every Indian, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam on his birth anniversary.

Kalam and his roots

Dr. Kalam was born on October 15, 1931, in Rameshwaram town of Tamil Nadu and died due to cardiac arrest on July 2017 last year while delivering a speech at IIM Shillong. Developing India’s first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-3) Kalam had made the admirable record which successfully injected the Rohini Satellite in the Earth Orbit in July 1980 and also made the country an exclusive member of Space club.

On the other hand, the work on the construction of a memorial for the former president will commence today on the occasion of his birth anniversary. A team of DRDO officials led by P K Singh reached here today to visit the memorial site at Peikarumbu where Kalam was laid to rest after his death in July last year. Around Rs50 crore had been allocated for the  memorial in which the burial site and the statue will also be constructed. The memorial in the memory of Dr. Kalam would be inaugurated on July27 next year when his next death anniversary falls.
