THE LEADER I ADMIRE MOST The political leader I look up to and greatly admire is our former president Dr.

APJ Abdul Kalam. Dr. Kalam became the 11th President of India on 25th July 2002 and served the office until 2007. He is a scientist turned politician and comes from a humble background. Popularly known as the missile man of India, he is a progressive mentor, innovator and visionary. Dr. Kalam is a man to look up to not only because he was the president of India but also because he has been a role model to the country in terms of technology and management. He incorporated spiritual and political thinking in his leadership. While he was the president, he made sure that he was always accessible to the common man and traveled to every state, cutting across hills, deserts and seas and touched millions of people. Dr. Kalam has traveled across India to meet with over 2 million schoolchildren and initiated each one of those kids to dream and have a personal vision. He told the kids that we are all born with a divine fire in us, all we have to do is to give wings to this fire and fill the world with the glow of its goodness. He is a living example of a leader who practices leadership discipline and propagates it too. He is a man with a vision and he is not afraid to travel unexplored paths to achieve his set goals. He initiated a goal of energy independence for India to free her from dependence on fossil fuels and to help maintain a clean environment. He proposed to run the Rashtrapati Bhawan on solar power but could not succeed as his term ended before he could see it through. Dr. Kalam is a perfect example of how a leader should be. A true leader is one who is someone who takes charge and inspires and motivates anyone and everyone he comes across. Kalam is a leader with a vision, unafraid to be questioned, methodical in his approach, and respected by his people. His visions, goals and thoughts are a motivation to millions of Indians. His focus has always been on transforming India into a developed nation and he continues to ignite young minds to help build a better nation.
