When he suffered a fracture early this year, many of you wished him a speedy recovery and he was overwhelmed by the gesture.

Saturday, October 15, is Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam's birthday.

A few days before he turned 74, the President who is always thinking of ways to make India better, suggested creating a science cadre to attract the country's youth to a career in science.

While wishing the President, please tell us what you think of his new idea.

You can also send in your suggestions on how to make India a superpower, President Kalam's enduring desire.
