“If you fail, never give up because failing means the first step of learning”

Global Indian International School, Surat observed World Students Day on the birth anniversary of former President Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam on October 15, 2020. Kalam was the 11th president of India and known as the "People's President" who was loved by most citizens.

In 2010, the United Nations declared October 15 to be World Students' Day. A day to honour his efforts on promoting education. Dr. Kalam was a dedicated teacher and identified himself foremost in that role before anything else. His love for students finds the best voice when he said, "Dream, Dream, Dream, as Dreams transform into thoughts. And thoughts result in action."

India fondly remembers Dr. Kalam as Missle Man, an educationist, the person behind the success of the Indian aerospace science programme.

Dr. Kalam had famously said that teachers are the builders of society and society can be built only when the students are made proficient in their subjects. He further added that they have to provide a vision for life to the students and also inculcate the fundamentals of values that they should practice in years to come.

This year, the theme of World Students’ Day was ‘Learning for people, planet, prosperity, and peace’. A special assembly was organized in the memory of Dr. Kalam to inspire the students through his work, achievements, books, lectures, etc.

Dr. A P J Kalam is a true inspiration to every student across the world.
