The People`s President
Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was India`s 11th President and served from July 2002 to July 2007.
Born in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu to a poverty stricken family, he went on to study physics and aerospace engineering.
Kalam who narrowly missed becoming a fighter pilot for the Indian Air Force, joined the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). He was part of famous space scientist Vikram Sarabhai`s Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR).
The `Missile Man` was transferred to ISRO in 1969 where he later developed India`s first Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-III). Kalam then successfully built the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
The Indian government entrusted him to direct the advanced missile programme under which India developed the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Agni and surface-to-surface ballistic missile Prithvi. He also oversaw Pokhran-II nuclear tests.
During his term as president, he was affectionately known as the "People`s President".
He died at the age of 83 while delivering a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management in Shillong.
