Information of first missile made by A.P.J.Abdul Kalam
Answers
India had mastered missile technology from olden days, but it was left behind in this field when the Britishers ruled the country for hundreds of years, resulting in lack of resources, research environment and capabilities.
This was the time when India decided to go ahead with its Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP), headed by eminent scientist and former President of India Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam who launched the first Satellite Launch Vehicle, SLV-3 putting the Rohini Satellite in orbit.
The IGMDP project began on July 26, 1983 at the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) in Hyderabad. A host of missiles, including the strategic Agni Integrated Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM), the tactical Prithvi, the Akash and Trishul surface-to-air missiles and the Nag anti-tank guided missile were developed under the programme. The project gave India the capability to produce indigenous missiles in other key areas as well.
