Why do we celebrate World Student Day?

He must follow the path of all areas such as theoretical reading, understanding, and its practical application. A student should lead a disciplined life and never follow the path of evil.

His point of view was that a student should always strive to shape his character in such a way that he becomes the highest priority of his life. Students play an important role in improving society by being good citizens, representing future icons, and helping society.




The “Great Scientist” APJ Abdul Kalam

A simple man, born in 1931 in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, worked as an aerospace engineer for DRDO & ISRO. Mr. Kalam was the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007. During his lifetime he won numerous prestigious awards and was honored as a renowned scientist, thinker, philosopher, and teacher.

He was the author of many inspirational books, the most famous being “Wings of Fire,” “India 2020,” and “Ignited Minds.” Mr. Kalam was one of the discoverers of modern India who has always shown great faith in youth. His rare and inspirational quotes motivate every student.

The perspective of APJ Abdul Kalam on the Indian education system and the importance of studies

Dr. Kalam liked to pass on knowledge to young people through teaching, writing, and motivational quotes. He has always believed that educated youth are the pillars of every developing country. In his opinion education is the main driver for personal growth. No wonder Dr. Kalam, despite so many titles, has always loved to be called a teacher!

According to him, the Indian education system needed some reforms. Although it covers a wide range of knowledge and details, only a few reforms, such as the functionality of the transferred knowledge, are required. The Indian education system should be a competency-based education at the school level, where a student will easily understand from an early age. On the 54th day of the founding of the IIT Bombay, Dr. Kalam said that-

“The education system must be designed to create a large number of employment generators and not just employment seekers.”

According to Dr. Kalam, In addition to the normal school program he receives, students should also receive special training to acquire a specific ability to obtain additional certification. Not only does this certificate of achievement help them find a job after graduation, but it also helps them to understand the practicalities of the real industry. The introduction of a special particular skill at a tender age promotes the entrepreneurial spirit of young people of the country.

As World Student Day approaches, all students prepare to pay tribute to their teacher on his birthday. Students demonstrate their social responsibility by gathering on campus to explain the reasons for which they volunteer. The thoughts and works of Dr. Kalam are valued all day long.

Summary

In summary, Mr. Kalam has always said that students have a purpose in life, and have to grasp knowledge with all possible resources. Work hard to achieve it, and never have to face defeat in the face of the problem instead of defeating the problem and being successful.
