Early Life and Education
Born on October 15, 1931, in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's early life was filled with hardships. Despite the financial constraints of his family, his determination to learn never waned. His passion for aerospace engineering led him to study aeronautical engineering from the Madras Institute of Technology. It was during these formative years that the foundations of the 'Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam' we revere today were laid.
