Working tirelessly even on his last day, former President <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Dr+APJ+Abdul+Kalam+">Dr APJ Abdul Kalam</a> had planned a surprise assignment for the students of <keyword id="138328" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="IIM-Shillong">IIM Shillong</keyword> which he could not give it to them. The assignment was about finding new and innovative ways to end disruptions in <keyword id="6354721" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="parliament">Parliament</keyword>. 
 According to Kalam's close aide <keyword id="983173" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Srijan-Pal-Singh">Srijan Pal Singh</keyword>, who was with him on his last day, they discussed about disruptions in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Parliament+">Parliament</a> on their way to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Shillong">Shillong</a>. 
 
He told PTI from Shillong: "He was very worried and said he had seen the tenures of many governments but disruption keeps on happening every time. He had told me to prepare a surprise assignment for the students which would be given to them at the end of the lecture." 
 
Srijan Pal Singh, who co-authored two books with Kalam, said the former President wanted the students to come up with three innovative ideas to make Parliament more productive. 
 
"We had also decided to include this topic of disruptions in Parliament into our next book 'Advantage India' which would be released in September-October. I'll do that now before the book comes into the market," the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=IIM+Ahmedabad+">IIM Ahmedabad</a> alumnus said. 
When asked about Kalam's last wish, he said Kalam always wanted a billion smiles on a billion faces in the country. 
 
He further said that Kalam wanted rural India to develop, adding “he kept on talking about youth empowerment. Now his ideas are more alive as the man who was leading it from the front is no more," he said. 
 
The only regret the <a href="file:///C:/Users/gunja.d/Documents/July%202015/Missile%20Man">'Missile Man</a>' had in his life was not being able to provide facilities like 24-hour electricity to his parents during their lifetime "That is I think one regret he always had in his life," Singh said.

Deeply distressed by the disruptions in the Parliament, former President of India, late <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Destiny-always-has-a-different-plan-Dr-APJ-Abdul-Kalam-planned-an-assignment-which-he-couldnt-give-to-IIM-Shillong-students/articleshow/48248849.cms">APJ Abdul </a><a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Destiny-always-has-a-different-plan-Dr-APJ-Abdul-Kalam-planned-an-assignment-which-he-couldnt-give-to-IIM-Shillong-students/articleshow/48248849.cms">Kalam</a>, had plans to come up with ways to make Parliament sessions productive. 
	 Dr. Kalam, popularly known as the People’s President, had planned a surprise test for his students at <keyword id="138328" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="IIM-Shillong">IIM Shillong</keyword>, in which they had to come up with three innovative ways to make the Parliament more productive and vibrant. 
	 “Our second discussion was more national. For the past two days, Dr. Kalam was worried that time and again Parliament, the supreme institution of democracy, was dysfunctional. He said, "I have seen two different governments in my tenure. I have seen more after that. This disruption just keeps happening. It is not right. I really need to find out a way to ensure that the parliament works on developmental politics." He then asked me to prepare a surprise assignment question for the students at IIM Shillong, which he would give them only at the end of the lecture. He wanted them to suggest three innovative ways to make Parliament more productive and vibrant,” remembered his close aide, <keyword id="983173" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Srijan-Pal-Singh">Srijan Pal Singh</keyword> in his post on Facebook while paying a tribute to the visionary leader. 
	 
	But, being the empathic teacher that he is, after a while Dr. Kalam went back to the topic and said, “But how can I ask them to give solutions if I don't have any myself.” 
	 
	 
	But this was not the only topic that was discussed between them while they were on their way to IIM Shillong on Monday. Former President Kalam was also deeply disturbed by the terror attacks in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Top-security-officials-fear-more-Gurdaspur-like-terror-attempts/articleshow/48250531.cms">Gurdaspur</a> in Punjab. Interestingly, he was to deliver a lecture on how to create a livable planet at the said venue. 
	 
	“…The loss of innocent lives left him filled with sorrow. The topic of lecture at IIM Shillong was Creating a Livable Planet Earth. He (Dr. Kalam) related the incident to the topic and said, “it seems the manmade forces are as big a threat to the livability of earth as pollution". We discussed on how, if this trend of violence, pollution and reckless human action continues we will forced to leave earth. "Thirty years, at this rate, maybe", he said. "You guys must do something about it... it is going to be your future world,” recalled Singh in his post. 
	 
	But this wasn’t all. Dr Kalam, who is remembered for his humility and kindness towards others, irrespective of their position in the society, displayed yet another example of his love. 
	 
	While travelling in a convoy of six cars, as a protocol, a security personnel in the car ahead of the dignitary’s vehicle, is supposed to stand. Late Dr. Kalam too had a similar convoy but what he did next for his security personnel is truly touching. Dr. Kalam noticed that one of his security personnel had been standing since the beginning of their journey from the airport to the venue. Worried that the personnel will be exhausted, Dr. Kalam asked his aide to make radio communications to the car ahead of them to signal the personnel to sit down. Unfortunately, this couldn’t happen. So, later when he reached the venue, he asked Singh to call the personnel in order to personally apologize for making him stand so long. 
	 
	“…One hour into the road journey, Dr. Kalam said, "Why is he standing? He will get tired. This is like punishment. Can you ask a wireless message to be given that he may sit?" I had to convince him, he has been probably instructed to keep standing for better security. He did not relent. We tried radio messaging that did not work. For the next 1.5 hours of the journey, he reminded me thrice to see if I can hand signal him to sit down. Finally, realizing there is little we can do - he told me, "I want to meet him and thank him". Later, when we landed in IIM Shillong, I went inquiring through security people and got hold of the standing guy. I took him inside and Dr. Kalam greeted him. He shook his hand, said thank you buddy. "Are you tired? Would you like something to eat? I am sorry you had to stand so long because of me,” said Singh. 
	 
	Touched by his gesture, the personnel just uttered, “Sir, aapke liye to 6 ghante bhi khade rahenge (Sir, we can stand for another six hours for you).” 
	 
	In his post, Singh recollects that Dr. Kalam’s last words for him were, “Funny guy! Are you doing well?” Two minutes into the lecture, Dr. Kalam collapsed and later passed away, leaving behind his legacy for generations to come.

#KalamSir: Former President’s APJ Abdul
Kalam’s ‘funny guy’ pays a tribute to the great man!

India’s 11th President, Dr <keyword id="2972752" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Avul-Pakir-Jainulabdeen">Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen</keyword> (APJ) <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Destiny-always-has-a-different-plan-Dr-APJ-Abdul-Kalam-planned-an-assignment-which-he-couldnt-give-to-IIM-Shillong-students/articleshow/48248849.cms">Abdul Kalam</a>, who died on Monday at the age of 83, addressing students at <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=IIM+Shillong">IIM Shillong</a>, wanted to be remembered as “teacher”. 
 
Kalam’s adviser <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Srijan+Pal+Singh+">Srijan Pal Singh</a> was on the same stage with him in Shillong when he collapsed and was taken to hospital where he later died. 
 
The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=IIM+Ahmedabad+">IIM Ahmedabad</a> alumnus, Singh, paid tribute to the ‘<keyword id="445273" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Missile-Man">Missile Man</keyword>’ on Tuesday. He has also co-authored two books with the former President. 
 
He posted on Facebook: Once Kalam asked me, “You are young, decide what will like to be remembered for?” 
 
Singh kept on thinking for impressive answers and then one fine day he counter-questioned him. He asked Kalam: “First you tell me, what you would like to be remembered for? President, Scientist, Writer, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Missile+Man">Missile Man</a>, India 2020, Target 3 billion…What?” 
 
Kalam replied: “Teacher”. 
 

	In his touching post on Facebook, Singh said two weeks back they had a long discussion about his missile days. He was worried about the way children behave with their parents. The former President said: “Children need to take care of their parents. It is sad that sometimes this is not happening.”
 
Singh quoted Kalam as advising parents: “Two things. Elders must also do. Never leave wealth at your deathbed – that leaves a fighting family. Second, one is blessed is one can die working, standing tall without any long drawn ailing. Goodbyes should be short, really short.” 
 
He said in his post: “Today, I look back – he took the final journey, teaching, what he always wanted to be remembered doing. And, till his final moment he was standing, working and lecturing.” 
 
“He left us, as a great teacher, standing tall. He leaves the world with nothing accumulated in his account but loads of wishes and love of people. He was a successful, even in his end,” he added. 
 
“Will miss all the times you surprised me with your humility and startled me with your curiosity, will miss the lessons of life you taught in action and words, will miss our struggles to race to make into flights, our trips, our long debates…The man is gone, the mission lives on. Long live Kalam,” he concluded. 
 Kalam was awarded the <keyword id="100256" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Bharat-Ratna">Bharat Ratna</keyword> in 1997, the Padma Vibhushan in 1990 and the Padma Bhushan in 1981.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Shayanne Gal/Business Insider</div></div></div><ul class="summary-list"><li>Facebook's blood donation feature in India risks being abused by black market blood peddlers.</li><li>Local blood donation experts told Business Insider the product can be used to illegally sell blood in the country.</li><li>Facebook says it has only seen one report through its platform, though one expert said victims were unlikely to report the issue and that he has heard reports of blood selling.</li><li>"The Facebook blood donation tool is not only trying to save lives but also indirectly helping to create a very disastrous and illegal blood donation activities," said one blood donor organisation founder.</li><li>This black market pre-dates Facebook's time in the country, but there are fears that the way Facebook connects donors and recipients could exacerbate it.</li></ul> Several public health officials in India are calling for <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/fb-stock">Facebook</a> to make changes to its blood donation tool, warning that the tech project - although well-meaning - risks fueling a dangerous black market for blood and harming the country's fragile blood collection system. Facebook's one-year-old blood donation feature has already helped facilitate tens of thousands of donations since it was launched, saving lives by making it easier for people in need of transfusions to find willing donors with matching blood types.But the tool's person-to-person format is ringing alarm bells among experts and professionals in the field, who say that it's too easy for unscrupulous characters to latch onto, leaving vulnerable people at risk of paying exorbitant prices and receiving tainted blood, among other issues.Facebook said that it has only had one report of forbidden behavior on the tool - but the head of one Indian blood donor organization said he has been told about incidents of black market blood selling on Facebook and suggested victims of black marketers were unlikely to report them to the social media firm."These types of products ... definitely bring in black marketing, and it's definitely promoting it unknowingly, because it was not the intent of Facebook to promote black marketing," said Biswaroop Biswas, the National Secretary of the Federation of Indian Blood Donor Organisations (FIBDO), a coalition of 126 blood donation groups across India.The issue, which has not been previously been reported, illustrates the ongoing challenges Facebook faces in its efforts to ensure that its 2-billion member social network is not exploited for nefarious ends, whether that be interfering in US elections or promoting ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. The company is walking a delicate tightrope with the India blood donation tool, as it tries balance the unprecedented power, and undeniable benefits, that its technology brings with the potential for it to exacerbate thorny and endemic problems within the country.In an interview, Facebook health product manager Hema Budaraju said: "What I would like to emphasize is our role is to get more and more blood banks to adopt our features, and to actually build up the culture of blood donation. And as you're already well aware, this system doesn't exist in the US, right? It's because donors are motivated [to give blood regularly].""That's the world we are trying to get to, and we are working constantly with NGOs and blood banks."<h2>India has a worrying black market in blood</h2>India quite simply doesn't have enough blood to go around.There is <a href="https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/09/blood-donations-in-india/">an annual deficit of more than one million units of blood</a> in the country - meaning patients can sometimes be forced to search for their own sources of blood, asking their social circle for donations or even paying illegal black marketers extortionate sums.As Facebook grew in the country, it became an avenue for people to request blood donations from others in their network. In response, Facebook launched a tool in 2017 to try and facilitate donations more formally.Initially available in India and now also live in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Brazil, Facebook's blood donation tool allows organisations and individuals to put out requests for blood donors on the social network at short-notice. Users can voluntarily register themselves on Facebook as blood donors, and then, when a request is put out nearby, they may be notified (or view them in a centralized hub).These requests may be sent by medical institutions like hospitals and blood banks as part of broad donation drives, or individuals who require blood on behalf on themselves or a family member imminently, and who may or may not be in a medical institution.<a href="https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/06/making-it-easier-to-donate-blood/">More than 11 million people have now signed up for the service</a> across the four countries it operates in, and it has facilitated tens of thousands of donations. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/09/blood-donations-in-india/">Facebook</a>A publicity photo from Facebook showing a request on the blood donation tool.</div></div></div>There is an existing black market for blood in India, preying on desperate sufferers amid blood shortages. FIBDO expressed concerns that Facebook's product may help fuel this. Black market agents can register on the platform as donors, Biswas said. Then, when notifications and requests go out, the agents can contact the requester directly, offering them blood for a fee.He said he has spoken to people who have been approached by black market blood sellers on Facebook. Budaraju said the company has multiple safeguards in place to protect users. New accounts aren't sent notifications about requests, and "the registrations we receive are doubly checked against fake and spammy accounts." Users are also able to report other users if they ask for money in return for blood, and she said there has only been one instance of a report through the platform to date - a post that was soliciting blood in exchange for money, in Bangladesh. (The user was subsequently made unable to use the blood donation tool.)However, Biswas, who also sits on the governing body of the National Blood Transfusion Council, was skeptical that users would report black market issues to Facebook, suggesting they would simply pay up in a time of need instead. "If you need blood and people ask for money ... Will [you] report or just go with the donor [and] pay him?"Chethan Gowda, student founder of blood donor organisation Khoon, said unscrupulous middlemen could also potentially use the platform to sell blood at extortionate rates: "The racket personnel can also request for blood, arrange for a donor through Facebook and on the other hand charge huge amount from the patient family, wherein the blood donor who turned up to donate blood will have no idea of what's going on on the other end."And black market blood that hasn't been vetted carries a risk of being misclassified, tainted or otherwise dangerous, health experts say.Gowda added: "The Facebook blood donation tool is not only trying to save lives but also indirectly helping to create a very disastrous and illegal blood donation activities."<h2>These problems all pre-date Facebook - but now it has to deal with them</h2>These kinds of problems long pre-date Facebook's entry into the blood donation space, and also take place on other online platforms, Biswas said. Facebook also continues to work with NGOs and blood donor organisations in India to encourage donations, including NTR Trust, the National Blood Transfusion Council, and Giants <keyword id="6356001" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="international">International</keyword>. "There are known issues of scams/exploitation or bad actors in blood donation in some of the countries where our feature is available," Budaraju said in an email. "We've worked closely with partner organizations and NGOs to understand those concerns and the challenges they deal with in order to build a product that helps makes it easier for people to sign-up to be blood donors and find opportunities to donate nearby while also mitigating these risks. While there may be a few bad actors, we see a lot more good happening as a result of this feature."She said that partners "highlighted a few concerns about potential ... scam[s] or abuse that could happen on Facebook, which is why we've designed the product with a number of safeguards in place. No partners have raised issues since we launched the product in each country, but we continue to work closely with them to ensure the feature is as safe and useful as possible."But the concerns of the Indian organizations who spoke to Business Insider point to how as Facebook moves into new markets and experiments with new tools designed to do good, it has been forced to grapple with unprecedented new challenges that would have been unimaginable when it was founded as a simple network for college students in 2004.Facebook has stumbled in India before, with Free Basics - a program to provide a free, limited internet service to users in emerging markets. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jul/27/facebook-free-basics-developing-markets">Facebook promoted it as a magnanimous project, but it was met with protests</a>, and the company was accused of "digital colonialism" and violating net neutrality principles.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Christopher Furlong/Getty ImagesA nurse takes blood from a volunteer on April 17, 2007, Manchester, England.</div></div></div><h2>India wants to move away from 'replacement' blood donations</h2>India has set itself a goal: By 2020, it wants to hit 100% voluntary blood donation.This means 100% of the blood used in the country will come from volunteers proactively going to hospitals, blood banks, and donation drives to donate, which will then be distributed as necessary. At present, a portion of India's blood donations come from what is known as "replacement blood donations" - when a donor agrees to give blood specifically for someone in their network, rather than to the general blood bank.This system can be problematic, with donors sometimes feeling pressured to donate blood to those in their community, and the lack of anonymity sometimes causing issues with donors attempting to extract favors (if not outright payment) from the recipients. FIBDO is concerned that Facebook's mechanism for connecting donors and recipients directly can encourage replacement blood donation. "When they got in touch with us, we told them this is not the way you people will be able to help the society," Biswas said. He believes that Facebook's one-to-one model effectively violates India's National Blood Policy, which calls for a movement away from replacement donors, and he would like to see Facebook remove one-to-one donation options.Facebook disagrees, arguing that its one-to-one model is a step forward from the status quo, and that it too wants to see a 100% voluntary blood donation model implemented as soon as possible. Without Facebook's tools, people needing donations might ask people in real life for a donation, applying significant pressure, Budaraju said. In contrast, Facebook's notifications will also go to people outside a recipient's existing social circle, to people who have already registered and signaled their willingness to donate. The recipient is also unaware of the potential donors' identities unless they choose to respond and share information about themselves."In some ways I fundamentally believe the current system that we built on Facebook, even when used in the person-to-person, is a step towards voluntary, because people are under no coercion, do not have social pressures, are choosing to respond of their own volition and going in to donate," Facebook's Budaraju said. "So it's actually the opposite of the replacement system."<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">REUTERS/Charles PlatiauFacebook's founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.</div></div></div><h2>There are worries around blood wastage</h2>Another area of concern is around potential blood wastage.Srijan Pal Singh, the CEO of developmental NGO The Kalam Centre, said that Facebook's focus on increasing blood donations, without building out further blood storage infrastructure, could result in some of the blood drawn being wasted. "The time we worked with them, it seemed all about creating more units, but that's not the idea. It's not about creating more units, it's about helping more lives, and there's a difference between the two," he said."It's a well-known fact, three million units of blood was wasted in five years [in India] so unless you have the mechanism to store this blood it doesn't make sense."Facebook responded that it believes that other organisations in the blood donation ecosystem are better placed to work on these problems than it. "We are still a relatively young product, we are focusing on .. Facebook's strengths in terms of education, communication, context, and in bringing awareness, and to build simple tools for blood banks and hospitals,"Budaraju said."I don't know that we would be the most effective people to think about storage and infrastructure."<h2>'People will try to abuse those services in every way possible'</h2>It's difficult to assess to what extent some of these concerns might actually be happening on Facebook.Khoon's Chethan Gowda conceded that it's hard to measure whether the illegal behavior he has seen elsewhere is taking place on Facebook. "Concrete example[s] of a similar scenario happening through the Facebook blood donation tool is tough," he said. "As there's no track on the request."Singh urged Facebook to get ahead of the problem. "When you have so much outreach and access, a lot of these touts and brokers may emerge, this is a possibility that I also hope Facebook sees will come up," he said. "When they are implementing this platform with all this good intent they should not end up becoming a victim of encouraging a whole black market brokerage."Biswas said he is confident that black market selling is already taking place on Facebook, and has spoken to people who have been approached by blood sellers on the platform: "These things are happening. And as you can see when the people are in need of blood, they won't come out to say to the donor organisations afterwards that people are coming and asking for money." Despite these alleged flaws, Facebook believes it has built a significant improvement on the previous status quo - desperate patients and their families posting unregulated and unmonitored requests for blood directly onto Facebook and other platforms across the web. Both Facebook and FIBDO agree that a priority is education and promoting a cultural shift towards voluntary blood donation; Facebook plans to roll out educational resources for donors in the product soon. The company also continues to work with NGOs and blood donation organisations, who have heralded its work to drive blood donations and save lives. "Facebook has long been a positive platform for people in India to connect with Blood Donors and help those in need. NTR Trust welcomes Facebook's efforts to help make it even easier for people to donate blood in India," Vishnu Vardhan, CEO of non-profit organisation NTR Trust, said in a statement when the feature first launched. "We look forward to working together to raise awareness of the importance of donating blood and collectively catalyze sustainable access to safe blood in India. What Facebook is doing has the potential to bring tectonic shifts in Blood Banking in India."On Friday, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10105224999156601?__tn__=-R">Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a post on the social network</a> reflecting on Facebook's efforts to fix its platform over the last year."What I've learned so far is that when you build services that are used by billions of people across countries and cultures, you will see all of the good humanity is capable of, and people will try to abuse those services in every way possible," he wrote."It is our responsibility to amplify the good and mitigate the bad." <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kaman-kmax-helicopter-intermeshing-dual-crossing-rotors-2018-8">An aerospace company reintroduced its precision helicopter with two crossing motors</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
