About the Journal
Kalam’s Vision is a premier multidisciplinary and multilingual international e-journal (Biannual double-blind peer reviewed refereed e-journal) published under the prestigious aegis of the International Academic Council of Dr. Abdul Kalam Foundation. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of India’s 11th President, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. True to his mission of “igniting minds,” the journal serves as a vibrant platform where scientific inquiry meets social responsibility.
Dr. Kalam often spoke of the “convergence of technologies.” This journal honors that philosophy by breaking down academic silos — providing a unique space where an engineer’s insights on renewable energy can coexist with a sociologist’s study on rural development. By encouraging a multidisciplinary dialogue, the publication ensures that research is not just theoretical but holistic, addressing the complex, interconnected challenges of the 21st century—from artificial intelligence and space exploration to ethics and public policy.
Under the guidance of the Dr. Abdul Kalam Foundation, the journal prioritizes “Research for Nation Building.” The editorial board looks for work that offers tangible solutions to poverty, healthcare disparities, and educational gaps — fostering a community of “visionary thinkers” to inspire a new generation of scholars to dream big and use their intellectual prowess for the greater good of humanity.
Multi-Lingual Framework
Recognizing that profound wisdom exists beyond the English language, the journal invites scholarly contributions in various regional languages. This approach:
- ✦ Empowers local researchers who are more comfortable expressing complex ideas in their mother tongue.
- ✦ Preserves linguistic heritage while advancing modern scientific thought.
- ✦ Ensures inclusivity, making high-level academic discourse accessible to a broader section of society, including those in grassroots sectors.
