The book Agni Ki Udaan is the Hindi translation of the book Wings of Fire by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. Published by Prabhat Prakashan, this book is truly inspirational.
Synopsis
It is the story of the rise of a man from obscurity to the position of the first citizen of a nation of one billion. This is the story of APJ Abdul Kalam and his personal and professional struggles, his journey from being a son of a boat owner to the position of chief of defence research and development programme of the country and ultimately being the president of India. He is a great person who demonstrated the great potential of dynamism and innovation which existed in the seemingly moribund research institutes. This is also the story of Agni, Prithvi, Akash, Trishul and Nag missiles those have raised India to the position of missile power of international reckoning. The book is also the saga of the struggle of independent India for technological self-sufficiency and defensive autonomy.
