Remembering Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam on his death anniversary.
Odisha shared a special bond with the missile man of India.
In his book Ignited Minds, he wrote about the beauty of Chandipur, Odisha, calling it a place that “opened up my mind to the cosmic reality.” He also recalled how then CM Biju Patnaik immediately approved DRDO’s request for the wheeler islands, telling him:
“Whatever you ask, I will give… Anything needed from Odisha will be yours.”
Dr Kalam played a pivotal role in developing India’s missile programme at the Integrated Test Range, Chandipur, and Wheeler Island (now Abdul Kalam Island), where several landmark missile tests were conducted.
A visionary who helped strengthen the nation’s defence and inspired millions.
China is making AI a compulsory subject in primary school.
If India wants to lead the future, AI literacy must become as fundamental as reading, writing and arithmetic. That’s what our new Education Minister should be working on.
Yesterday around this time, almost every television channel in the country was confidently telling us, citing “sources,” that Dharmendra Pradhan would not resign.
Today, he resigned.
And now the same newsrooms are suddenly full of “exclusive inside stories” explaining his resignation.
With such a track record, how are people supposed to trust the media?
We no longer function as media. We have become a poor PR agency of the Modi government.
