My India: Ideas for the Future

Drawing from Dr Kalam's addresses to parliaments, universities, schools and institutions in India and abroad, the book presents his thoughts on India's development and the qualities needed to build a stronger society.

Kalam also draws inspiration from remarkable figures such as Marie Curie and Dr Vikram Sarabhai. His messages emphasize humility, resilience, determination, compassion and the importance of self-confidence.

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (1931–2015) was one of India's most distinguished scientists and served as the President of India from 2002 to 2007. He played a major role in India's space and missile programmes and became widely admired for his ability to inspire young people to pursue knowledge, innovation and national development.

My India presents Dr Kalam's vision for a confident, compassionate and progressive India. Through selected speeches and reflections, he encourages young readers to develop strong values, pursue education and scientific thinking, and take responsibility for the country's future.

The book combines ideas about science, technology, poverty, nation building and personal development with stories of inspiring individuals. It serves as a motivational roadmap for young readers, urging them to dream ambitiously, work with determination and help create a better India.
