Mumbai sources have added that Amol Yadav may be just one man but he has managed to do what many of India's larger enterprises haven't been able to. The journey wasn't easy but at the end of a six year endeavor that included selling his home and a daunting fight against red tape, Mr. Yadav's dreams have taken wings only the flight is left.
A statement from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' office said "The DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) has provided a registration certificate to pilot Amol Yadav”. It was on the Chief Minister's request that PM Narendra Modi's himself intervened to ensure that Mr. Yadav could finally stop going around in circles with the aviation regulator.
Meanwhile before PM Modi's
intervention, Mr. Yadav alleges, the DGCA not only sat on his application for
years but also changed old rules that would have allowed him to fly the
aircraft. But it was his incessant campaign that ultimately forced the rules to
be changed. He said "The rules will prevent huge losses to the Indian
exchequer because people like me and more will be able to make planes. They
will be able to get the planes registered and fly them too”.
