Jet Serve Go....skilling in the aviation industry....

Jet Serve Go....

Aeroplanes and aircrafts are so fascinating. We may not be able to fly like birds but aeroplanes give us that sense of joy. Being free in the air, among clouds, watching from above,  the beauty of the earth is the most fascinating. And when the aircraft is a helicopter our fascination doubles. Right from childhood, we have seen leaders, celebrities landing from helicopters. Hordes of children and people collect in villages to see the aircraft and their excitement is at a crescendo when someone lands in a helicopter in the village.
I too have seen them many times but never closely enough to be standing by not one but 4 helicopters at the Jetserve Aviation Academy at Gurugram in Haryana.
It was the inauguration of the idol of Lord Shiva at the institute by Honourable Shri. Kaptan Singh Solanki, the Hon'ble Governor of Haryana. The bust of Smt.Ratni devi, mother of Shri.Sitaram Ola, the Chairman and Managing Director of Indraprastha Group of Institutions and Jetserve Aviation was also inaugurated. Induction of students of the new batches was also done.
The Indraprastha Group and Jet Serve Aviation together have 6 educational institutes which include Indraprastha Institute of Aeronautics, Flyola India Pvt. Ltd. providing Helicopter & Aircraft Charter Services through Mobile, Simtech India Pvt. Ltd, providing simulator training and skill training , Jetserve Aviation limited, approved by D.G.C.A., Ministry of Civil Aviation, Govt. of India , Air Operator’s Permit Holder, MRO, Aviation Training Centre.
My first visit to the institute was to explore the possibility of skilling rural youth under DDUGKY. I was quite taken up by their professionalism.
The Hon'ble Governor of Haryana, while complimenting on the institute and its facilities emphasised on the importance of skilling.
In recent times , India had taken a backfoot in skilling compared to countries like Germany, Japan and China. Hardly 12 percent of our working class was skilled. India could become an economic power only if 90 percent of our human resources are skilled. A separate department of skilling had been created for this purpose. Schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Yojana or the Deendayal Upadhyay Grameen Kaushalya Yojana were facilitating this. Haryana Skill Mission had skilled over one lakh persons. Haryana was the hub of knowledge and skilling. It was here that Guru Dronacharya trained many worthy disciples including the invincible Arjun. No wonder a University for Skilling was set up here. Similarly a horticultural university was also set up here. Whether Humanities or Technical Sciences , over 50 Universities were facilitating skilled education.
Jetserve Aviation was opening a new chapter by adding skilling in aerospace and aviation to it.
The Hon"ble Governor, emphasised on the importance of 5 S's - skill, sincerity, seriousness, being social and spirituality.
Every human being was contributing to the growth of society but that could not be enhanced unless a person was skilled to contribute to the growth of society.
It was equally important to be sincere in our efforts. Success was possible only when our efforts are sincere. Creation of a society was possible only when every individual stood up for it and contributed to it's growth. Individuals should learn to be more social as human beings. They should mingle and interact more. Creation of a society was possible only when every individual stood up for it and contributed to it's growth.
The most important aspect was the  spiritually of the individual. Being pure in mind, body and spirit and imbibing the true tenets of humanism was vital.
He was extremely happy that he had inaugurated the idol of Lord Shiva because it represented the "damroo" of humanism. He hoped that Indraprastha Group of Institutions and Jetserve Aviation would enable high quality skilling in the aviation and allied sectors.
For Mr.Sitaram Ola, it was a day of blessings. Along with the installation of the idol of Lord Shiva , the bust of his mother was being unveiled. A self-made person brought up by his widowed mother he had come up on his own. After completing his studies in engineering, he had worked for sometime in the aviation industry and then set out to start his own enterprise. By sheer hard work and determination he moved from strength to strength and had established six branches in the aviation sector. He was also running helicopter services throughout the country.
A devoted son, he announced ten scholarships in the field of Art, Science, Social Work etc to be given annually by a trust which he would be setting up for this purpose. In this day and age to remember one's parents and be grounded and rooted to in traditions was admirable.  He certainly was an inspiration for his students
For me also it was a great opportunity to interact with the new batch of students, channelise their thoughts towards positivity and development of self and the nation. Aviation was an interesting sector with ample opportunities for growth and the institute was helping them move forward in that direction. I dreamt of a day when candidates from rural Maharashtra, especially Gadhchiroli would get skilled in the aviation  sector under DDUGKY.  The helicopters showering flowers from above appeared like blessings from Lord Shiva and would probably make my dream come true....
