Women better even at flying aircraft than men: Ajit Pawar
The Free Press Journal|August 03, 2024
“Many are asking me why we have come out with special financial schemes for women in Maharashtra, we have realised that we have to focus on farmers and women if basic poverty eradication has to happen and women have skills which are not utilised, we will help them to get professional skills, my personal experience is that women are even better at flying aircraft compared to men,” Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said amidst huge applause at a rally in tribal tehsil of Surgana in North Maharashtra on Friday.

Pawar addressed a rally attended majorly by women in the region where he spoke on various issues.

Speaking at the rally Pawar said, “We have kept aside over Rs46,000 crore for the Ladki Bahin Yojana which will provide Rs1500 monthly to women from the financially weaker sections”.
