About US - Dr APJ Abdul Kalam International Foundation

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam International Foundation (AKIF) was launched on 11th October 2015 in his loving memory by House of Kalam. The foundation would work to fulfill the dreams and progress the ideas of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

The Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam International Foundation (AKIF) was founded by his elder brother and family with support from the colleagues of Dr. Abdul Kalam. During his last part of his life, he was contemplating with his peers and family members to set up an organization where his vision would become a reality. Death snatched away this opportunity from him. 

But his family and colleagues decided to work tirelessly towards fulfilling his wishes and hence the AKIF was born.
