Recently I visited the educational campus of Ahmedabad Aviation Academy (A A A), located at Rancharda. The campus is also known as Indus Campus. I had expected to run into a regular billboard training center, as it has now become customary to run an academy or training center by putting up a bill board in some rented premises and collecting a flock of students. But I was in for a good surprise.
Not only the institute is run in a sprawling campus but the facilities were also of high standard. The main building where the classes were conducted was not only spacious but imposing. The halls were large and airy and acoustic sounded satisafctory. However, it was my visit to the lab of this institute that convinced me that Ahmedabad had in its vicinity an aviation academy that could well match international standard.
The 'new age' is the 'age of aviation' as the streets and highways are soon to be flooded by all types of automobiles ('nano' has already arrived). It is predicted that year 2012 onward, it will be an 'age of aviation'. I am glad that my city is well equipped to meet this challenge by providing the trained manpower to fuel tomorrow's need.
Alas! Till yesterday, I did not know about such an important tourism related institute, just on the outskirt of my city!
