Hyderabad: Clad in a burqa, Syeda Salva Fatima has been an inspiration for many young girls and is an example of women empowerment. Residing in the old city area in Hyderabad, Fatima is among those handful of Muslim woman in India who hold a commercial pilot's licence.
To help Fatima achieve her dreams, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao personally sanctioned Rs 35.50 lakh for her advanced training.
But it's been more than 14 months and Fatima is still running around government offices for the funds.
"I was surprised when I was called to the Chief Minister's office and he was personally there. They sanctioned Rs 35 lakh. But for months I kept waiting for training at Telangana Aviation Academy," Fatima says.
The course for which the government had released fund was not available in Telangana State Aviation, so Asia Pacific Flight training academy was the only option. With a delay in the release of funds, Fatima has not only missed many opportunities but she is also losing crucial time.
