Abstract
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam is one of the most eminent scientists of India. He was in charge of the SLV-3, India's first satellite launch vehicle, as well as the development and use of strategic missiles. Kalam has authored books on a wide range of subjects, which have been translated into many languages around the world. Wings of Fire, Target 3 Billion, India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium, and Ignited Minds are among his most important works. Target 3 Billion is Kalam's collaboration with Srijan Pal Singh. Many of Srijan's articles on sustainability and development have appeared in prestigious journals. Srijan collaborated with Kalam to promote PURA as a system of sustainable development. The book contains novel solutions for long-term development. The book offers creative ways for sustainable development. The prejudices against affluence and basic human living standards must be overcome; this is both a major national responsibility and an international challenge.
