Dr Kalam has been a guest faculty at IIM Shillong for the last couple
of years! A life well led by example. A great, dedicated teacher until
the very end! No salute will be enough for this great son of Mother
India. Kalam was born in Rameswarama, Tamil Nadu on 15 October 1931 and
served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007. Kalam was
associated with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)

launch vehicle technology. He also played a crucial role in India's
