Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam : The Igniting Gen Z Icon. Every year, on Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam’s death anniversary, India pauses to remember the man whose humility, wisdom, and vision shaped generations. Born in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, in 1931, Kalam rose from modest beginnings to become one of the greatest scientific and moral forces of modern India.

Nicknamed the “Missile Man of India,” his pioneering work with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) placed India firmly among global scientific powers.

Dr. — Baby missile man with the first guru his mother.

Dr. — “Dream Big” His Words to Gen Z! Making of the missile man.

By Dr. Namrata Mishra Tiwari, Editor, http://indiainput.com

Yet his true legacy extends far beyond rockets and research. For Gen Z—the digital, ambitious, and restless generation—Dr. Kalam’s life exemplifies purpose-driven progress. His story reminds young minds that innovation is meaningful only when it uplifts humanity. Through his words and actions, he taught that dreaming big is the first step, but striving continuously with discipline and compassion transforms those dreams into reality.

Kalam’s presidency between 2002 and 2007 redefined the role of a national leader. He became a mentor rather than merely a statesman—visiting schools, engaging students, and injecting optimism into the nation’s youth. His speeches pulsed with encouragement: to question, to learn, and to serve the country with integrity. Even after leaving the office of President, he continued traveling tirelessly across India, urging students to blend scientific curiosity with moral strength.
