Born on 15 October 1931 in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, into a humble family, Kalam rose through sheer hard work and determination.Kalam made a significant contribution as Project Director to develop India's first indigenous Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-III), which successfully injected the Rohini satellite into near-earth orbit in July 1980 and made India an exclusive member of the Space Club. He was responsible for the evolution of ISRO's launch vehicle programme, particularly the PSLV configuration.

Digital governance in hill states is much needed! But implementation is key - hope they ensure good internet connectivity in remote areas. The Science City concept is exciting though! 🚀

As someone working in tech, I appreciate the focus on innovation policy. However, I hope they allocate sufficient budget and create proper monitoring mechanisms. Too many announcements don't translate to ground reality.
