DR. ABDUL KALAM ESSAY CONTEST
In collaboration with the Indo-American Center (IAC), IAHM helped conduct a timely essay contest inspired by the April 2011 Chicago visit of the former President of India, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. Contestants were invited to submit essays on a present-day example of environmental degradation and the scientific research needed to promote awareness of its consequences.
