🕊️ Tribute to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

📅 27th July 2025

"Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action."

– Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

Today, on 27th July, we pay our humble tribute to Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, a great scientist, visionary, teacher, and the 11th President of India. Dr. Kalam left us on this day in 2015 while doing what he loved most—interacting with students.

He always believed that students are the future of the nation, and education is the most powerful tool to transform lives. He inspired millions to rise above circumstances through hard work, honesty, and a never-give-up attitude.

Let us take this day to remind ourselves of his teachings:

🌟 Dream Big – Have a goal in life, constantly acquire knowledge, and work hard to achieve it.

🌟 Be Courageous – Face failures bravely and rise again with stronger efforts.

🌟 Think Innovatively – Use science, logic, and creativity to solve problems for the betterment of society.

🌟 Stay Humble – Success and simplicity can go hand in hand.

Let us pledge today to be responsible citizens, curious learners, and compassionate human beings—just like Dr. Kalam envisioned.

💬 "If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun."

Let’s ignite the fire within and become the light for others.

🙏 A humble tribute to the eternal teacher – Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
