The students' diligent teacher, the nation's gifted scientist, the humble "People's President" - an indefinable name he is Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. A man who dedicated his life and work to the betterment of a nation , and his time and energy to the billions of young minds he wished to ignite. He has left back dreams in everyone, and the undying inspiration to make those dreams come true.

A surfeit of contents has been interwoven to give this book a shape. To read through the pages will mean a journey through his life in entirety. Besides Kalam's own speeches and quotes, it also contains literary tributes by scientists, academicians and students, the interviews of his family members, and a real-time anecdote of his interment ceremony at Rameswaram. This is not just a tribute, but a world beyond it to be read, explore and discovered.

The reason that has whet my desire and interest to write this book - This book can be a priced possession for all , as it has edited compilation of articles, speeches, media reports and other sources from print, web, tributes from scientists and academicians across the globe in Bengali version . I believe this book will make a mark in student's mind.

Actually "Kalam Katha" is a Bengali version of the English book "Pupils' President - APJ Abdul KALAM". This is also a complete compilation on Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam but in Bengali.

As India is a developing country, all children in India hardly get the chance to continue their study from English medium school, rather they neither even get the chance to get proper education. Being an educationist I feel for these destitute students. That's why I thought after launching "Pupils' President - APJ Abdul KALAM" , if I edit a new book on the Teacher of Teachers Dr. Kalam in Bengali for the impoverished Bengali students then this book could be a great brainwave that helps them to march forward and also helps get ignited their minds.
