!! A Humble Tribute to Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam !!
“Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action.” – Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Known as the “Missile Man” and the “People’s President of India,” Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s life, vision, and ideals are the inspiration and foundation behind the “Wings of Fire Olympiad.”
Dr. Kalam was not only a renowned scientist but also an enthusiastic thinker who constantly motivated the youth to dream big, innovate, pursue knowledge, and dedicate themselves with determination to achieve great goals. His autobiography, Wings of Fire, has been an inspiration to millions of students across the world, encouraging them to develop values, persistence, and strive for national excellence.
This Olympiad has been launched in memory of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and with the aim of carrying forward his legacy of simplicity, vision, and determination. By cultivating innovative thinking, creativity, and digital skills, the Wings of Fire Olympiad seeks to realize Dr. Kalam’s dream of a strong, self-reliant India, and inspire the youth to contribute to the progress of the nation.
Through this program, we are committed to nurturing talent, spreading inspiration, and motivating students to turn their dreams into reality. By doing so, the youth will carry forward Dr. Kalam’s vision and create a stronger, more successful India
