The missile man of India was very popular among children and it was the proud privilege of the students of colonel’s academy to visit him at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi in the year 2003 and for those who were not so lucky to see him in flesh and blood a special screening was done to throw a light on the luminous life of Kalam and to give an insight into his life and education contribution and dream projects.
The day was dedicated to Kalam, as once he said that after his death a holiday should not be declared but people should work an extra day. Students displayed sketches spoke poetry and penned down how they are inspired by this man who was known as people president as he was very approachable. Director of the school Arjun Bahadur spoke about Abdul Kalam who came from a very humble background about his life education and contributions.
