Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was born on 15 October 1931 in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. He was born in a Muslim family of weak economic conditions. His father was a sailor by profession.
Since his father was not very educated, he had suffered a lot from the beginning.
Once he had a friend inside his school, who was the chief priest’s son. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who was sitting on the first bench with the son of the priest, was made to sit behind by the master.
Abdul Kalam went quietly and sat back. On this incident, he resolved to sit back and change the world. Sitting back doesn’t matter that’s why he used to say
The best mind of the country can be found on the last bench of the classroom
His family was very big. They were ten siblings. There was a shortage of money in the house, so he started selling newspapers at an early age to meet the expenses of his studies. He also had a logic behind selling the newspaper, Abdul Kalam used to read the whole newspaper while selling the newspaper.
