The Essence of Dr. Kalam's Educational Philosophy is written from the fundamental perspective of how the Dr. Kalam imperative can revolutionize the mind sets of thousands of teachers and professors we have been producing and witnessing in our country. India, one of the oldest civilizations of the world, has a history of having been blessed by teachers of the utmost potential .One among them, whose contributions as a 'teacher' were not highlighted to the effect that his teachings and perceptions were adopted by the Indian Education system, is the missile man of our country, Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam. In this book, we have tried to apply the great values and ideologies of Dr. Kalam, as one of the pioneer 'teachers' we have ever had in the field of Education. Furthermore, we have paid attention to the processes associated with how these ideologies can be understood and applied to the present day system in our country.

Today's scenario of aspiring for 'perfect teachers and perfect students' is achievable if we start inculcating values of accountability and responsibility in the minds of the target audience, and this book is a humble gesture in that direction. It is our sole motive to create insurgence in the young minds and encourage them to adopt qualities from the man who thinks that learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge and knowledge makes us great! It is high time that we change our role models from fake Instagram profiles to people who have perspired and achieved milestones.

Therefore, the purpose of this book is to assist both students and teachers, in the area of 'how to get educated' and ' how to impart education better' respectively. More specifically, this book keeps Dr. Kalam in the centre and extracts the excerpts from his phase of life that he enjoyed and cherished the most 'as a teacher'. The impact that his mentors, his mother and his colleagues had on his life will definitely leave the readers thinking about how to value and learn from the people around us and how not to become bookworms. The very foundation of righteousness, respect for the teacher and the pupil, along with perseverance, gratitude and commitment becomes extremely important to understand and absorb in order to help build a strong and educated community in our country, and Dr. Kalam is the epitome of the same.

In a nutshell, the book will not only provide the detailed insight of the thoughts and ideas of Dr. Kalam on the education system, it will also persuade it's readers especially the students and teachers, to think positively and not just teach or get taught for the sake of it. Dr. Kalam was surely a man of many words, but it will be a blessing for the young Indians if they get the chance to dive deep into the ocean of thoughts and analysis that is beautifully done in this book for the readers, from his perspective as a teacher, the area that is least explored till now.
