Andhra Pradesh: YS Jagan assures support to Jahnavi Dangeti to pursue pilot training

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has once again displayed his generosity by providing financial support to help a poor student from rural areas achieve her dreams. Jahnavi Dangeti, a resident of Palakollu, had previously received Rs. 50 lakhs in aid from CM Jagan during his visit to Rajamahendravaram in July of last year.

Recently, Jahnavi had the opportunity to meet the Chief Minister as he was leaving the Rajamahendravaram R&B Guest House to visit the flood-affected victims in the Konaseema district. During the meeting, Jahnavi and her family expressed their gratitude to CM Jagan for understanding her aspirations to become a pilot and astronaut and for supporting her higher education. When she appealed for financial assistance to pursue commercial pilot training in Florida, USA, CM Jagan responded positively.

Minister of Information, Venugopal, explained to CM Jagan that Jahnavi, with the government's previous financial assistance, has already achieved significant milestones. She has received silver wings as a scientist-astronaut candidate from IIAS Florida, USA, and has become the first Indian to participate in the NASA International Air and Space Program.

However, Jahnavi expressed her determination to follow in the footsteps of Indian-origin astronauts Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams in her pursuit of reaching space.
