Nagpur Flying Club gets registered as Govt co


* Also gets Income Tax exemption

Staff Reporter
Nagpur Flying Club Private Limited is now Nagpur Flying Club. The change, which appears to be minor, is actually a major step forward for the Club towards becoming a professionally run Government company.
The change has been effected following its registration under Section 25 of the Company Law. Now, Nagpur Flying Club is fully-owned Government company. Recently, it also got Income Tax exemption. B V Gopala Reddy, Divisional Commissioner and Chairman of Nagpur Flying Club, received this intimation on June 25. How do these changes affect the training provided at the Club?
“These developments are major. Registration as a Government company and Income Tax exemption will provide relief to students and their parents as they will not have to bear the burden of paying service tax at the time of securing admissions,” said M A H Khan, Managing Director of Nagpur Flying Club. Besides, students will be entitled to get education loan at low interest rate from the banks. The Club also will benefit as it will not have to pay Income Tax. “The money thus saved could be put to a better use of developing the Club infrastructure,” Khan added.
At present, the Club offers flying training for Rs 16 lakh. “This is the cheapest training available in the country,” Khan said. The fees includes expenses towards 200 hours of flying, six-months ground training and theory classes, examination fees etc.
With the latest developments, Nagpur Flying Club has come up with a new proposal. It has proposed to collaborate with Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) for running a Diploma in Aviation course. “While getting Commercial Pilot Licence, successful trainees will also get Diploma in Aviation from IGNOU, as per our proposal, which is yet to be crystallised,” Khan added. IGNOU diploma is recognised in 35 countries and will come as an added advantage for trainees of Nagpur Flying Club, he said.

Hinganghat: Here rests the great surveyor of India...

  By Kartik Lokhande  Often, the work of explorers lives on but they get buried in the history. This is exactly what has happened in case of Lt Col William Lambton. The man credited with initiating one of the greatest scientific activities in the world -- The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India -- lays buried at a place now known as ‘Kala Gota’ amid a crowded locality behind Bus Stand in the town of Hinganghat in Wardha district. Sadly, the memorial of this great surveyor, whose work led to measuring the highest point on Earth 50 years later, has become a victim of neglect. And, surprisingly, not many know about it and the great significance of Hinganghat in the landmark survey.  Lambton Memorial, known locally as 'Kala Gota' in Hinganghat.

Eknath Ranade, the man with ‘Rock’ solid determination

* November 2015 marks the culmination of birth centenary celebrations of Eknath Ranade, a son of Vidarbha who made it the cause of his life to realise the dream of Vivekananda Rock Memorial at Kanyakumari By Kartik Lokhande  It was 1962, a year that had stirred the atmosphere in the country owing to several factors including a war with China. In January 1963, India was to celebrate the birth centenary of Swami Vivekananda. In down south, in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, tension was in the air over Swami Vivekananda’s memorial. There were attempts by some to claim the Rock off the shores of Tamil Nadu where Vivekananda meditated. A firm leadership is required to navigate through little storms in the journey towards realisation of a goal. Eknath Ranade, a man born in village Timtala in Amravati district of Vidarbha region in Maharashtra, was destined to be that firm leader as far as Swami Vivekananda’s memorial at Kanyakumari. Born on November 19, 1914, Eknath Ranade was the ...
