Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, past President of India, is the undisputed father of India's missile programme.

He has breathed life into ballastic missles like the Agni and Prithvi, which put China and Pakistan well under India's missile range.

It is too exhausting to track Dr Abdul Kalam's achievements to date.

In the '60s and '70s he was a trail blazer in the space department.

In the '80s he transformed the moribund Defence Research and Development Laboratory in Hyderabad into a highly motivated team.

By the '90s Kalam emerged as the czar of Indian science and technology and was awarded the Bharat Ratna. His life and mission is a vindication of what a determined person can achieve against extraordinary odds.
