World Students' Day

World Students' Day is celebrated on October 15 to honor the birth anniversary of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India and a renowned scientist. Dr. Kalam was a strong advocate for education and deeply believed in the power of students to shape the future of the world. His lifelong dedication to promoting education, inspiring students, and encouraging young minds to aim high and work towards their dreams has made him a beloved figure among students worldwide.

While Dr. Kalam is most famously known for his contributions to missile and space technologies, his true passion lay in mentoring and motivating young people. He frequently visited schools and colleges to interact with students, counseling them on how to set goals and work hard to achieve them. He believed that education was not just a means for personal development but also a driving force for societal progress.

World Students’ Day celebrates students' achievements at all levels across the globe and promotes the value of education in fostering growth, innovation, and leadership. It is a day to honor Dr. Kalam’s legacy by recognizing that students are the future leaders who can bring about positive change in the world. Activities on this day often focus on encouraging students to strive for academic excellence and personal development, inspiring them to continue Dr. Kalam’s vision of a better, more educated society.

By celebrating this day, we pay homage to Dr. Kalam’s belief that education and the empowerment of students are essential for the world’s progress. His legacy reminds us that students are the engines of development who will shape the future.
