Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was born at Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu. He was the eleventh president to India and was conferred India’s highest civilian award ‘Bharat Ratna’ in 1997. During his tenure from 2002-2007 he was popularly known as ‘’people’s president’’.
In the present lesson, ‘’Building a new state” (taken from ‘Ignited Minds’) we will come to know his experiences and findings during the four visits to Jharkhand state. Dr. Kalam had already visited Jharkhand state for three times before the month of September 2001. The first two visits brought him very close to the core competence that the state possessed. He had been made Patron of the Science and Technology Council of the state and his purpose of that fourth visit was to work out a developmental programme in the areas of herbs, forest products and other natural resources in order to increasing income to the state.
