History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

World Student\u2019s Day is celebrated on 15th October every year to celebrate the birthday of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. Born in 1931 in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu (Madras), he was one of the known aerospace scientists and teachers of his time and contributed his work for the welfare of national organisations like the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)<\/strong> and the Indian Air Force<\/strong><\/a>. In 2002, he was named the 11th President of the Republic of India.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remembering the contributions of Dr Kalam to education and his commitment to inspiring young people, the Government of India decided to celebrate his birthday as \u2018World Student Day.\u2019 This designation aims to honour his legacy and emphasize the importance of education and youth empowerment on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
