APJ Abdul Kalam's driver over two decades ago, 55-year-old V
Kathiresan is now an assistant professor at Arignar Anna Government Arts
College in Tamil Nadu, thanks to the former Indian President’s motivation. He
worked as driver for ayya (sir) for five and a half years. He is primarily
responsible for the position where he was today.Kathiresan caught the former Indian President's attention
when Kalam saw him reading newspapers, magazines, and books. It was then that
Kalam encouraged and motivated him to study further. He has also received
monetary aid from Kalam.
After completing his 10th board examinations, he went on to
pursue his higher secondary, BA (history), and MA (history) from Madurai
Kamaraj University.As his working hours as a driver were from 10 am to 5 pm, he
studied in the evening. The support he got from Kalam ayya played a major role in
his transformation.
