A Friend Remembers Kalam: He belonged more at ISRO than DRDO,
While it was his work at the Defence Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO) that brought him laurels and earned him the name of
‘Missile Man’, A P J Abdul Kalam probably belonged more at the Indian
Space Research Organisation (ISRO), where he spent two decades of his
career, according to Y S Rajan, one of his closest associates.
Rajan, a friend for 50 years who co-authored three books with Kalam including the bestsellers Mission India and Vision 2020, said it was only a relative leadership vacuum in DRDO that made Kalam’s shift compelling.
“It was Raja Ramanna who initiated his shift from ISRO to DRDO, and
it was V S Arunachalam (former DRDO chief) who convinced Kalam to make
the shift. Many people advised Kalam against it. I happened to be among
the very few people who supported him in making the shift,” Rajan said.
