"Former president of India A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has said that he is impressed with the film I am Kalam.  Kalam was invited to watch the film, which revolves around the life of a poor Rajasthani boy who is inspired by Abdul Kalam to fight for an education.  &amp;quot;While watching the film, some thoughts went in my mind... that I have met 12 million youth in a decade from all over the country,&amp;quot; Kalam told NDTV.  &amp;quot;The movie made me realise that every person can make changes in others&amp;#039; lives. We should promote education in villages. I have started PURA (Provision of Urban Amenities in Rural Areas) scheme. We need to create employment for parents so that they can send their children to school.&amp;quot; Kalam asked director Nila Madhab Panda to take his film to rural schools and colleges.  Recalling his childhood, the former President said that his teacher inspired him to become a scientist.  &amp;quot;My aim to become a space scientist was because of my fifth class school teacher. I was a ten-year-old child in British India of 1941. I was studying in a panchayat school. I remember my science teacher Shiv Subramani Aiyar and he once taught us about how the birds fly. &amp;quot;He even took us to sea shore to show us how they flew and changed the direction. This is where my dream was born. I knew that I will do something related to flight. I took physics, learned about aeronautics engineer and space scientist. &amp;quot;I ask myself, &amp;#039;What have I learned?&amp;#039; I have realised one thing: that children are a big force. The ignited mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on the earth, above the earth and below the earth. We have got 600 million youth, no other democratic country has got this,&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;If you have great aim in life and acquire the knowledge, it does not matter who you are, you will reach your goal. Urban education is not enough, good education must reach remote villages,&amp;quot; added Kalam.  I am Kalam premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and has been showcased at various other events - winning several awards.  The film&amp;#039;s director has confirmed that I am Kalam is part of a trilogy. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
