Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu has inaugurated a series of passenger-centric and culturally significant facilities at the Birsa Munda Airport in Ranchi. The event was held in the presence of Union Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth on May 20.
Among the newly inaugurated facilities include the Bhagwan Birsa Munda Feature Wall with Statue as well as the UDAN Yatri Café, AVSAR Counter, Kids Zone and Flybrary, read a statement.
Developed as a tribute to Bhagwan Birsa Munda, the feature wall reflects Jharkhand’s rich cultural heritage and historical legacy, besides offering passengers an immersive and visually engaging experience upon arrival.
“Today’s (May 20) unveiling of the statue of Dharti Aaba Bhagwan Birsa Munda is an occasion to honour the confluence of tribal pride and modern development. I firmly believe that our airports should not merely serve as centres of travel, but should reflect the identity, heritage and spirit of the states they represent. Every passenger arriving at Ranchi Airport will now be welcomed by the inspiring legacy of Bhagwan Birsa Munda Ji and introduced to the soul of Jharkhand,” Naidu said.
While highlighting aviation growth in Jharkhand, the Union Minister added, “Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s civil aviation sector has witnessed transformative growth, with the number of airports increasing from 74 in 2014 to 165 today. In Jharkhand too, this progress has been remarkable. Annual air passenger traffic has grown more than fivefold since 2014, aircraft movements have increased over three times, and air cargo has also recorded nearly threefold growth.”
