DEAR KALAM SIR

Dear Kalam Sir, a compendium of tributes to the ‘people’s president’, ‘the missile man of India’ amazes us by the sheer novelty of the idea. An initiative of Letter Farms, this book is a testimony to the fact that Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, with his ideas, words and actions reached out and touched a great number of lives. A man who rose from a humble background to become President, India ever had, Kalam’s life is a lesson that ‘dreams with a vision and hard work ensure success.’ ‘Postcard is your canvas and sky is your limit’ is the single line instruction with which Letter Farms began the community art project Dear Kalam Sir, which is a confluence of ‘art, articulation and passion’. The unique project witnessed participation of students from several schools and people from all walks of life with the assistance of hundreds of implementing institutions such as the Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir, Bhavan’s Shikshan Bharati, Muslim Education Society, ICSE & CBSE schools, Jain University, Central Chinmaya Trust and many more from India and abroad.
