Every year on October 15, the world observes World Students' Day to honor the contributions of former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in the field of education. This significant day marks the birth anniversary of the late teacher, affectionately known as the Missile Man of India. As India’s 11th President, Dr. Kalam was not only a distinguished scientist but also a dedicated administrator who devoted over forty years to the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). His vision for the nation and his passion for education continue to inspire millions.
World Students' Day was established in 2010 to commemorate Kalam's remarkable achievements, especially in academia and research. Although the United Nations is often cited in various publications for this announcement, it is essential to note that the event is primarily celebrated in India. Dr. Kalam's life and teachings emphasize the value of education and the importance of nurturing the minds of young individuals.
