Dr APJ Abdul Kalam’s Life Cited as an Example of Perseverance
To motivate students, the Collector referred to the life of former President and renowned scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, encouraging them to pursue their dreams despite difficult circumstances.
He explained that Dr Kalam spent his childhood amid financial hardships and continued his education while working as a newspaper distributor. Although his dream was to become a fighter pilot, he was not selected. However, he did not give up and went on to become one of India’s distinguished scientists and eventually the President of the country through hard work, dedication and determination.

Baghel advised students to consider their interests, aptitude and future goals while choosing subjects. He also emphasised that the result of a single examination does not determine the ultimate success or failure of a person’s life.
