Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday met a dynamic young innovator Amol Yadav, a pilot by profession, who has taken up the initiative of manufacturing of small aircrafts in India. During a Make in India event in Mumbai in February 2016, Captain Yadav showcased his idea for building a fully indigenous model of a small experimental aircraft. However, the project was delayed, including receiving a “Right to Fly” for the experimental project. Yadav could not get flying permit for aircraft from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for which he had been trying since 2011.
