WHEN DR. KALAM WAS ELECTED AS THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA, WE INDIANS WERE IMMENSELY PROUD. A SCIENTIST FAMOUS WORLDWIDE WAS GOING TO BE THE PRESIDENT NOW. THE MERE THOUGHT WAS MESMERIZING. AFTER THE GREAT PHILOSOPHER DR. SARVAPALLI RADHAKRISHNAN; DR. KALAM WAS GOING TO CHAIR THE PRESIDENTSHIP. OUR POLITICAL LEADERS HAD GIVEN US A WONDERFUL GIFT, A PLEASANT SURPRISE. DR.

HE ALWAYS SOUGHT A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR INDEPENDENT INDIA. TO FULFILL HIS DREAM HE WOULD ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THE YOUTH AND STUDENTS OF INDIA.
