acoustical clouds. The folded plate
roof of 110ft span, incorporates the
services.

honors both Tagore, the legendary
artist and Tagore, the towering
personality.

 The memorial will reflect

India's diversity and various
cultures and will pay
homage to Kalam's life,
displaying replicas of rockets
and missiles that the late
ace scientist worked on.
 Every stone placed in the
memorial represents Kalam's
dream of United India.
 The Defence Research and
Development Organization
(DRDO), with which Kalam
was associated for several
years, had taken up the
initiative of constructing the
memorial as a tribute to
India's missile man. They
have invested around Rs 120
crore for the construction of
the memorial in a record 9-
month period.

 The entrance of the memorial

depicts the India Gate and
has a Chettinad door
integrated into the structure,
while the main dome of the
building is a replica of the
Rashtrapati Bhavan.
 The structure is built in a 2.11
acre land and the bronze life
size statue of Abdul Kalam,
which was inaugurated in
2016, has been shifted and
installed behind the memorial.
Inside the memorial there are
four halls which depict the life
and time of Kalam.
 The second phase of the
memorial will consist of the
knowledge centre- a library,
planetarium and auditorium.
