40-year-old automobile mechanic Chanden Sharma has developed a helicopter using a Tata Sumo diesel engine in the remote Shyamjuli village in Assam‘s Dhemaji district.

Vehicles struggle to reach Shyamjuli, a village 450km northeast of Assam’s principal city, Guwahati. This was the reason why Chandra Siwakoti Sharma, a school dropout, built a helicopter that that can carry two people 30-50ft above the ground.

Sharma has named his helicopter as ‘Pawan Putra’ to help the people of his village. He is awaiting clearance from authorities concerned to find out if his aircraft really works. He dreams that his son would become a pilot.
