The Inspiring Story of Bharat Ratna - Dr. A P J ABDUL KALAM | SEASON 2 EP 8
In this Episode, I will discuss the ZERO to HERO journey of India's Most Loved President and Bharat Ratna Dr A P J Abdul Kalam.
Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was an Indian aerospace scientist and statesman who served as the 11th president of India from 2002 to 2007. He was born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu and studied physics and aerospace engineering. He spent the next four decades as a scientist and science administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). He was intimately involved in India's civilian space programme and military missile development efforts. He thus became known as the Missile Man of India for his work on developing ballistic missiles and launch vehicle technology. He also played a pivotal organisational, technical, and political role in India's Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test by India in 1974.
Kalam was elected as the 11th president of India in 2002 with the support of both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the then-opposition Indian National Congress. Widely referred to as the "People's President", he returned to his civilian life of education, writing and public service after a single term. He received several prestigious awards, including the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.
ABOUT SEASON 2 | from ZERO to HERO | Stories of Inspiring Indians
India is not just the largest democracy in the world but also one of the most inspiring countries today. Many of our brothers and sisters have risen like the Phoenix from ashes and dust, and this season is dedicated to 10 such heroes. My choice was based on people I had met or admired in my life; each story had a human value and lesson for Meenamma.
The words zero and hero sound so similar. But it presents a world of transformation and a spectacular journey to transcend and travel this connection. Some protagonists had nothing to start with but hold a crown on their heads today, which they humbly accept as a halo of experience. Such is the story of mankind, and a proud Indian today presents the best of her best inspirations here.
I hope you will see these heroes as I did and take one new lesson in life.
Join me on this exciting journey!
