found this info in the pdf book
DR KALAM AND BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENCE (BMD) He was a great visionary. Even when the IGMDP projects were underway he started nucleating the idea of Ballistic Missile Defence. By 1995, he strongly believed in India possessing a BMD capability and put in his best efforts to convince the then Government, Military leaders and Scientists, and ensured that the programme was sanctioned in 1998 despite lots of reservations in different quarters of Government. Today India has BMD capability. I was fortunate to have worked with him all through the BMD Mission right from inception. Programme was discussed with Shri Gujral as PM and later with Vajpayeeji as PM. Both the Prime Ministers were highly impressed by Dr Kalam and believed in his leadership qualities and capabilities to transform India into a technologically strong nation for National Security. I remember that one day Iand DrKalam went to PMO toget the BMD file signed. IwaitedoutsidetheOfficeofPMandDrKalamwentinto discuss the BMD case. He came out gleefully, happy with the signatures of PM onfile.
