Baran: In a heartfelt tribute to Missile Man and former President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the Maulana Azad Manav Seva Sansthan (MAMSS) organized a ceremony at Madrasa Anjuman Islamia to honour 15 outstanding Muslim girls for their academic excellence. The girls, who secured top marks, were awarded mementos, certificates, and flower garlands as part of the event, which marked Kalam’s birth anniversary.
Chief guest, Kailash Sharma, a senior leader from the state Congress committee, along with other distinguished guests, shed light on Dr. Kalam’s inspirational life journey. Born on October 15, 1931, into a modest Muslim Ansari family in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, Dr. Kalam rose from humble beginnings to become one of India’s most revered scientists and leaders. His immense contributions to India’s space and nuclear programmes were praised during the event.
Notable figures, including Madrasa Anjuman Islamia President Majid Salim, Trade Federation General Secretary Kanhaiya Lal Chittoda, District Congress Committee Vice President Zakir Mansoori, Councillor Mohammad Sharif Rangrez, and Madrasa Board Deputy Chairman Shahid Iqbal Bhati, also addressed the gathering, emphasizing Dr. Kalam’s enduring legacy.
