Profile of Scientist– Dr. A. P. J Abdul Kalam

Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, in full Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam born on October 15, 1931 at Rameshwaram, India and died on July 27, 2015 at Shilong. He was Indian scientist and politician who played a leading role in the development of India’s missile and nuclear weapons programs. He was president of India from 2002 to 2007. Kalam. Dr. Kalam earned a degree in aeronautical engineering from the Madras Institute of Technology. In 1958 he joined the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). He soon moved to the Indian Space Research Organization, where he was project director of the SLV-III, India’s first indigenously designed and produced satellite launch vehicle. Rejoining DRDO in 1982, Kalam planned the program that produced a number of successful missiles, which helped earned him the nickname “Missile Man.” From 1992 to 1997 Kalam was scientific adviser to the defense minister and he later served as principal. Adviser (1999-2001) to the government with the rank of cabinet minister His prominent role in the country’s 1998 nuclear weapons

later served as principal adviser (1999-2001) to the government with rank of cabinet minister. His prominent role in country’s 1998 nuclear weapons tests established Kalam as a national hero, although the tests caused great concern in the international community . In 1998 Kalam put forward a countrywide plan called Technology Vision 2020, The plan called for, among other measures, increasing agricultural productivity, emphasizing technology as a vehicle for economic growth, and widening access to health care and education. In

2002 India’s ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) put forward Kalam to succeed outgoing President Kocheril Raman Narayanan. Kalam was sworn as India’s 11th president in a largely ceremonial post, in July 2002. He remained committed to using science and technology to transform India into a developed country. In 2007 Kalam left office and continued his research work. Kalam wrote several books, including an autobiography, Wings of Fire(1999). Among his numerous awards were two of the country’s highest honors, the Padma Vibhushan (1990) and the Bharat Ratna (1997). In 2013, he was the recipient of the Von Braun Award from the National Space Society "to recognize excellence in the management and leadership of a space related project". Wheeler Island, a national missile test site in Odisha, was renamed Abdul Kalam Island in September 2015.

News from T & P

Department of Electrical Engineering has initiated movement for nature conservation. Students of Department of Electrical Engineering have collected various types of seeds. Tree plantation and seed sowing was successfully completed on 12/08/2015 in collaboration with forest department. The idea is initiated by Dr. A. G. Thosar Head Electrical Engineering Dept., Mr. A. P. Giripunje, Deputy Forest Conservator guided the activity. Prof. S. S. Dhamse, Prof. S. S. Mopari, Prof. S. M. Shinde Prof. A.A. Bhole, Mr. Shastri and students of department participated in this activity. Prof. R.S. Ankushe coordinated the event .

Energy Tips

1. Check weather windows and doors are closed when heating or cooling your home.
2. Reduce the setting of thermostat on your water heater to 120°F.
3. Turn off the system like lights, TVs, entertainment systems, and your computer and monitor when you are not in the room .
4. Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on light bulbs, home appliances, electronics, and other products before buying any of these products.
5.Construction of building should be such that natural illumination and ventilation must be available during day time.
