Dr Heera Rashid On Rashid: What did Dr. Heera Rashid say to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath about Jewar Airport and his struggle? How did Hira Rashid use the compensation money after her family’s land was lost for airport construction? What is the significance of involving farmers in the first test flight of Jewar Airport?
Noida International Airport: Some stories are not just about development, but become examples of change and dreams coming true. June 15 was a similar day in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh. The first test flight of Noida International Airport, one of the country’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, took off from the same land where farmers’ families once grew crops for their livelihood.
This historic occasion was made even more special when the farmers who had donated their land for the construction of the airport got the opportunity to travel in the first test flight. This was not just a flight of an aircraft, but a symbol of the journey of development and trust in which farmers opened new paths for the future by giving their land.
The journey from Jewar to Lucknow became a flight of honor
After taking off from Noida International Airport, this special group of farmers reached Lucknow directly. Here the farmers met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and shared the experience of the first flight of the airport. Many farmers appeared emotional during the meeting with the Chief Minister. It was a moment of pride and satisfaction for him to be a part of the first flight of the same project for which he had given his land years ago.
When Dr. Heera Rashid narrated the story from struggle to success
During the conversation with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the story of Dr. Heera Rashid, resident of Jewar, attracted everyone’s attention. She told that today she has come to meet the Chief Minister by flying from the same land on which her father once used to do farming.
Dr. Hira Rashid said that a few years ago there was a lack of basic facilities in his area. Better internet connectivity, education system and transport facilities were limited. But with time development work took place in the area and circumstances started changing. He told that he passed the NEET exam in the year 2021 without any coaching. After this, she completed MBBS from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) and today has made her mark as a doctor.
Compensation amount was made a means of success
The story of sacrifice and foresight is also hidden behind the success of Dr. Hira Rashid. About six bighas of land belonging to his family was acquired for the airport project. The family did not just see the compensation received in exchange for the land as an economic benefit, but used it as a means of education and future building. Hira Rashid used this opportunity to fulfill her dreams and brought glory to her family and region by pursuing medical education. His story shows that development projects not only bring about structural change, but can also change the course of people’s lives when given the right direction.
Said a big thing to the Chief Minister
While talking to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Dr. Hira Rashid expressed his gratitude towards him and said that the development work done in the area has created new opportunities for the youth. During the conversation, he also expressed his personal wishes for the Chief Minister, which attracted the attention of the people present at the programme.
Farmers’ dreams reach new heights
The first test flight of Jewar Airport is being considered historic in many ways. This project is included in the largest aviation infrastructure development programs not only in Uttar Pradesh but in the country. The participation of farmers in this flight tried to convey the message that the real foundation of any major development work rests on the contribution of those who participate in it with their land, resources and faith.
