India’s biggest strength is space technology, thanks to the dreams of late President Abdul Kalam. He continued to inspire the younger generation though he was not physically alive.
With his inspiration, some youngsters have launched the Kalam Dream Home project to organise live exhibitions in schools to motivate the young minds to think of big things. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is now in a position to launch satellites of the U.S. and Britain too from the launch pad at Sriharikota. India is currently helping 20 countries in launching satellites for various purposes.
The Mars Orbiter Mission Mangalyaan, launch of navigation satellite, GSLV and other satellites make Indians proud of themselves. It raises many questions among the young minds as they cannot understand their importance and technology though they knew that India had been in top position in space technology.
New Central School’s effort
The New Central School in Srikakulam and the Kalam Dream Home organized a series of exhibitions to enlighten students. “India needed many scientists in future to make the country unbeatable in technology. We will explain the benefits of rockets, their manufacture, and procedure involved in launching of satellites in a simple manner. It naturally helps students to understand the subject easily,” said P. Srikanth, Director of the School.
Project Manager K. Haribabu said they would explain the greatness of space scientists like Abdul Kalam, Vikaram Sarabhai, Satish Dhawan and others. Former District Educational Officer Balivada Malleswara Rao said the exhibitions would strengthen the dedication among the kids and make them top scientists.
“Inspiring stories of great people like Abdul Kalam will certainly change the mindset of the students at early age. Moreover, their presentation and demonstration will help them know the complicated space subject in an easy manner,” he added.
