IGNITING THE FLAME
Beginning With Dr. Kalam’s Blessings
On June 25, 2008, within the vibrant atmosphere of the IIM Bangalore campus, Dr. A P J Kalam warmly interacted with Rahul Kapoor and Srividya Nagaraju. During this exchange, they introduced him to the ‘Ignite India Initiative’ and its main project, ‘Get IGNITED’. This initiative was inspired by Dr. Kalam’s influential work, ‘India – Vision 2020’, and thus, the project took shape.
Subsequently, on July 22, 2008, a momentous meeting took place at Dr. Kalam’s office in New Delhi. Here, Dr. Kalam extended a warm invitation to 3i, keen to delve deeper into the intricacies of the ‘Get IGNITED’ project.
Discussions revolved around the comprehensive training program at the project’s core and its meticulous delivery plan. As a token of appreciation, a memento was presented to Dr. Kalam, symbolizing the shared commitment to the initiative.
During this pivotal encounter, Dr. Kalam not only bestowed his blessings upon the ‘Get IGNITED’ project but also graciously endorsed it. In a touching gesture, he presented the 3i team with his revered ‘Knowledge Card’, bearing a personalized message, his photograph, and his signature. This card was intended to accompany the 3i certificate, serving as a cherished keepsake for every student participating in the ‘Get IGNITED’ program.
