Boeing Sukanya Programme to harness immense potential of Bharat’s daughters
Boeing’s new Global Technology Campus in Bengaluru is poised to reinforce the identity the South Indian tech hub city which connects aspirations with innovations and achievements, and links Bharat’s technological potential with global demand.
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi summed up the Boeing-Bengaluru relationship during the inauguration of Boeing campus which is the company’s largest facility outside America, imparting fresh vigour not only to Bharat but also to the global aviation market.
Inaugurating the campus on 19 Jan, he underscored, “But friends, the significance of this facility resonates with Bharat’s commitment to steering global technological advancements, research, innovation, design, and demand. It bolsters our resolve of ‘Make in India, Make For The World’.
“Moreover, the establishment of this campus underscores the world’s confidence in Bharat’s talent. Today is a celebration of the belief that one day, Bharat will design the ‘Aircraft Of The Future’ within this facility.
“Hence, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire Boeing management and all stakeholders; and my best wishes to you all.”
“Today marks a momentous day for the people of Karnataka as well. Last year, Asia’s largest helicopter manufacturing factory was completed in Karnataka. Now they are also going to get this Global Technology Campus.
“This depicts how Karnataka is developing as a major aviation hub. I extend my congratulations, especially to the youth of Bharat, as this facility will offer them numerous opportunities to acquire new skills in the aviation sector,” said the Prime Minister.
The newly launched Boeing Sukanya programme is poised to further enhance the participation of India’s daughters in the aviation sector.
Modi underlined, “This initiative will actualize the dreams of daughters from economically disadvantaged families in remote areas aspiring to become pilots.
“Additionally, career coaching and development facilities for aspiring pilots will be established in numerous government schools across the country.”
The Boeing Sukanya Programme is poised to harness the immense potential of Bharat’s daughters in this field.
To ensure the continued and accelerated growth of its aviation sector, the central government is consistently taking steps at the policy level.
The Prime Minister shared, “We are encouraging state governments to reduce taxes related to aviation fuel and working towards simplifying Aircraft Leasing. We are striving to reduce Bharat’s offshore dependence on aircraft leasing and financing.
“Therefore, the International Financial Services Centres Authority has also been established in GIFT City, benefiting the entire country’s aviation sector.”
It is also the opportune time for Boeing and other international companies to align their growth with Bharat’s rapid progress, he stressed.
PM Modi urged the aviation industry, “Upward mobility is evident across all income groups in Bharat, and the tourism sector of the country is expanding rapidly, presenting numerous new possibilities for all of you. Seize this opportunity to the fullest.”
With such immense potential in the country, Modi called on industry stakeholders to swiftly establish the aircraft manufacturing ecosystem.
Bharat boasts a robust network of MSMEs and a vast talent pool, added the PM, continuing, “Coupled with a stable government and a policy approach that encourages ‘Make in India’, this creates a win-win situation for every sector.”
“I believe that the people won’t have to wait long for Boeing’s first fully designed and manufactured aircraft in Bharat. I am confident that Bharat’s aspirations and your expansion will emerge as a strong partnership.
“Best wishes to all of you again for this new facility, and especially for the commendable work done for the ‘Divyangjan’ (differently-abled).
“And in my interactions with the people, I did not just see a system, but also felt an ’emotional touch’ in it. And without the conviction of the Boeing team, emotional touch is not possible. I particularly congratulate the Boeing team for the same. Thank you very much.” Fiinews.com
