 APJ Abdul Kalam – The Missile Man of India

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, jinke bina Bharat ke space aur missile program ka safar adhoora hota, unhein desh ke log "Missile Man of India" ke naam se jaante hain. Unka poora naam tha Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, aur unka janm 15 October 1931 ko Tamil Nadu ke Rameswaram gaon mein ek garib machhuaare ke ghar mein hua tha.

Jeevan Ki Shuruaat

Kalam ka bachpan kathinaiyon se bhara tha. Unke pita ek nauka chalate the aur ghar mein paison ki hamesha tangi rehti thi. Lekin Kalam ne kabhi haar nahi maani. Unhone akhbaar baant kar apne padhai ke kharche uthaye. Shuruaat se hi unmein ek junoon tha – desh ke liye kuch bada kar dikhane ka. Physics aur Aerospace Engineering mein unki ruchi unhe Indian Institute of Technology le gayi, jahan se unhone graduation kiya.

Vigyaan Ka Yodha

Dr. Kalam ne apna career Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) mein ek scientist ke roop mein shuru kiya, lekin unki pehchaan bani Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) mein. Yahi wo jagah thi jahan Kalam ne India ka pehla indigenous satellite launch vehicle (SLV-III) develop kiya, jiske zariye 1980 mein “Rohini satellite” ko space mein bhejna possible hua. Ye Bharat ke liye ek itihasik uplabdhi thi.

Lekin unki sabse badi pehchaan bani missile development ke kshetra mein. Prithvi, Agni jaise missiles ka safal parikshan unki leadership mein hua. Isi liye unhe "Missile Man" kaha gaya.

Pokhran ka Nayak

1998 mein jab Bharat ne Pokhran mein apna dusra nuclear test kiya, to Dr. Kalam us mission ke scientific advisor the. Ye test duniya bhar ke liye ek sanket tha ki Bharat ab ek nuclear shakti ban chuka hai. Kalam ki leadership ne Bharat ki raksha sakshamta ko kai guna badha diya.

Rashtrapati Ka Safar

2002 mein Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam ko Bharat ka 11va Rashtrapati chuna gaya. Wo Bharat ke sabse lokpriy rashtrapati ban gaye. Unka rashtrapati pad ke dauran bachchon ke prati unka prem aur unka "People’s President" ban jana sabko yaad hai. Unhone kabhi politics mein shamil hone ka socha nahi tha, lekin unka rashtrapati pad par rehna ek misaal tha ki ek vigyaanik bhi desh ka netritva kar sakta hai.

Youth ke Prerna Srot

Dr. Kalam ka sabse bada sapna tha – Bharat ko 2020 tak viksit rashtra banana. Unhone apne jeevan mein hamesha yuvaon ko encourage kiya. Unka maanna tha, “Sapne woh nahi hote jo hum sote waqt dekhte hain, sapne woh hote hain jo humein sone nahi dete.” Unki kitaabein jaise "Wings of Fire", "Ignited Minds", "India 2020" aaj bhi youth ke liye motivational resources hain.

Unka simple jeevan, imandari, aur unki deshbhakti ne har kisike dil mein unke liye ek alag jagah banayi. Wo hamesha student ban ke jeevan jeene mein vishwas rakhte the. Ek baar unhone kaha tha, “Main kabhi retire nahi hona chahta. Main hamesha seekhta rahunga, kaam karta rahunga.”
