In a once in a lifetime experience for a group of Divyang Children, FSTC (Flight Simulation Technique Centre) hosted a group of young students from Pallavanjali school at their world-class pilot training centre in Gurgaon. The students experienced the world of aviation on state-of-the-art flight simulators at FSTC’s Gurugram facility. The experience simulated the motor skills of these children and exposed them to the wonderful world of aviation and flying.

Pallavanjali is an Inclusive School, Intervention Centre, and an Institute for young adults in difficult situations, whether special needs, school dropouts or under-privileged. Pallavanjali has a fully equipped Intervention Centre with their therapists and special-educators and counselors to guide and support with one-on-one intervention and parent counseling. As the child grows up and is ready for group work, he/she moves to the group intervention program and then on to a classroom situation with regular students following a functional curriculum.

Once they are 15 years of age students move to the functional academic class where they learn at their own pace with a focus on Life Skill. At 18, students graduate to the Career Training Program that teaches them to be work-ready. Students are trained in soft skills like grooming & communication, etiquettes to follow in different situations, money management, time management, and life management. Once the students are ready they move on to Internships in various Corporates according to their aptitude.

 

Nirvan Kumar a student of Pallavanjali after his simulator experience, excitedly stated that, “I flew over the city of Mumbai and landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.” “It’s real,” his friend Shivam quipped in a wonderous tone. Trina Mehta wanted a longer flight and requested her friends if it was possible to fly “abroad”.

 

Hoping that this would serve as a model for others to emulate, Capt. Sanjay Mandavia, Managing Director Flight Simulation Technique Centre said, “We at FSTC are excited to have these young visitors at our facility. As we move towards a more inclusive society, it is important to ensure that these young minds are exposed to different avenues and accepted for what they are able to offer.” He also expressed his gratitude to the school authorities for taking a keen interest in the welfare and empowerment of the differently abled children.

 

Ms. Krishna Das, who heads career training for Pallavanjali thanked FSTC for the unique experience. “It was like a dream come true for us, a truly novel experience for both students and children.”
