The Odisha government had named the Outer Wheeler island in Bhadrak district as APJ Abdul Kalam Island in 2017 as a tribute to the former president.

He had spent most of his time in interim test range at Chandipur in Balasore district and Wheeler Island in Bhadrak district as part of his efforts to develop missiles for the protection of the country.
