    as A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, is one of India's most distinguished scientists. He is an Aerospace engineer, professor, and
    chancellor of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST), who served as the 11th President of India
    from 2002 to 2007. During his term as President, he was popularly known as the People's President.

    Before his term as India's president, he worked as an aeronautical engineer with DRDO (Defence Research and
    Development Organisation) and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation). He was responsible for the
    developement of India's fist satellite launch vehicle,the SLV-3 He is popularly known as the Missile Man of India for
    his work on development of ballistic missile and space rocket technology. Kalam played a pivotal organizational,
    technical and political role in India's Pokhran-II nuclear test in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test by India
    in 1974.

    He has the unique honour of receiving honorary doctorates from thirty universities and the country's three highest
    civilian honours - Padma Bhushan (1981), Padma Vibhushan (1990) and Bharat Ratna (1997)














    I have been an avid reader in all kind of story books. But this book by Dr.Kalam has wooed my eyes
    when I encountered the excerpts of this book in "The Hindu". I was totally surprised with Dr.Kalam's
    abundance of knowledge in multitudes of field. Hailing from the scientist background, he discusses
    more about political and economical developments in our country. During his tenure as "president" ,
    he has filled the vaccuum for the post , created by earlier beaureocrats. After taking the oath of
    president, Dr.Kalam has travelled to 21 different states in India , with in the span of 10 Months. All
    his speaches were inspiring and has transformed many youths to work for Mission 2020. It is
    unbelievable to figure out with the numbers, that ,he had addressed 1.5 Million people and have
    influenced them in all aspects of life.

    His indomitable spirit in working for Mission 2020 is much seen in his speaches. We have 50 Million
    of youth population and if all of them are influenced by Dr.Kalam's Mission, each one of our's
    contribution, may that be a smaller one too, will fill the vaccuum and can step ahead in becoming the
    developed nation in the year 2020. He has created the outline for achieving the mission and laid out
    several measures which could be a strong foundation for attaining the destiny.

    I was so impressed with some his innovative measures. To name a few, the concept of PURA. As our
    country faces a severe problem of people migrating form rural to urban areas, there was a
    tremendous demand in Man Power in Agriculture. The main purpose of the migration is that they
    couldn't see ample choices to have their daily living with the basic ameneties they needed. Even
    though Agriculture contributes a major share in our GDP. our farmers can't live their life solely
    depending on the income generated from agriculture. Also most of them employ the seasonal crops,
    it is highly difficult for them to compromise with their living standards with this feeble income. As
    they don't find any other trading opportunities they migrate to urban areas to get the living back.In
    order to cater this issue, Dr.Kalam has designed a concept of PURA. That means Providing Urban
    Amenities to Rural Areas. PURA groups has been established all over the India. The main function of
    the PURA Society is to build the infrastructure with in the villages from State and Central funds and
    to bridge the gap for bringing more trade opportunities to them. This will limit the number of
    migrations happening in the existing system.

    Another innovative concept which amused me is "Energy Independence". Woking with Bio
    technology scientists, he has brought the concept of Bio Diesel to the limelight. There is a plant called
    'Jatropha". This extraction is a powerful substituent for Diesel and thus achieving the energy
    independence.

    Dr.Kalam has drawn multiple measures in the verge of working for Mission 2020. I wish if every one
    of us start working towards the objective, we will realise that we are not far behind the destiny and it
    is in the arm reaching distance. Jai Hind
