Who is popularly known as the "Missile Man of India" for his significant contributions to defense technology and innovation?
Answer: A
The "Missile Man of India" is Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
Kalam led the development of SLV-3, India's first satellite launch vehicle, at ISRO, and then headed the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme at DRDO, which produced the Agni and Prithvi missiles. He was also central to the Pokhran-II nuclear tests of 1998 and served as President of India from 2002 to 2007.
Homi J. Bhabha is the father of India's nuclear programme, C.V. Raman won the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for the Raman effect, and Vikram Sarabhai is the father of the Indian space programme. None of them is called the Missile Man.
