उत्तर
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam was a great scientist. He was so humble and he said that he got this humility from his father. Dr. Kalam joined ISRO in 1960 when it was just a fledgling organization. His interactions with the great scientist Professor Vikram Sarabhai and the Reverend Peter Bernard Pereira shaped his thoughts on religion and learned about the true meaning of religious service. From Professor Dhavan, he got to know how one can be academically accomplished. From Mahaswamiji he realized the value of generosity. He learned many good qualities from great people like Pramukh Swami, Mahapragya Ji, Professor Brahma Prakash, Father Pereira, Dr. Sarabhai, Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, and his father. He believed that faith and fact can create a better planet for all of us; spirituality can lift us out of any kind of confusion, misery, or failure. He was truly a patriot because he said that one should use one's degree to transform the society where one lives. In 2012, he started a movement "What Can I Give, through which he tried to combat corruption, environmental degradation, and social evils.
