Vaikundarajan Pays Respect To APJ Abdul Kalam

Wednesday marks the first death anniversary of the man known as the People’s President – APJ Abdul Kalam. Last year on this day, Kalam breathed his last in Shillong at the age of 83 years. He suffered a massive cardiac attack while delivering a lecture at the IIM Shillong. “His passing was a great loss to the countrymen, young and old. He was one of the most inspiring leaders India has seen. Kalam was a true inspiration to the young curious minds,” says Vaikundarajan. He was the 11th president of India.


On his death anniversary, wishes have poured in from across the country as everyone pays homage to great personality. “He was a scientist, better known to us as the father of Indian missile defence programme. He was not only the most loved president but also immensely popular among children. His 79th birthday was recognized as World Students Day by the United Nations,” adds Vaikundarajan. Among many titles bestowed upon Kalam, ‘The Missile Man’ is the one that will always stick around.

To commemorate his first death anniversary, the Union Ministers Venkaiah Naidu and Manohar Parrikar unveiled a life-size statue of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam at Peikarumbu, his burial site in Rameswaram Island on Wednesday. “Mission of Life, an exhibition depicting the life of APK Abdul Kalam and his achievements towards the country is also set to be inaugurated on 27th July 2016,” informs Vaikundarajan.

Vaikundarajan pays respect to the common man who led the nation to greater heights and was a motivation to several countrymen.
