“His words of dream big and strive to realise them would remain inspiring, and he took joy in seeing his dreams in the youth of the country. He breathed his last, while addressing the students, reflecting the dedication which he held till the last moment of his life,” he added.
Recalling how the ‘Wings of Fire’, penned by the former President ignited the aspirations of the younger generations in the country, Naidu said, “The real tribute for him lies in realising the dreams he left for us to work hard and achieve it.

Lessons and messages that Kalam has given us would inspire us for generations to come,” he added.
