Saish Anant Naik (24) of Nagargao-Sattari overcame various obstac les and turbulent times to succeed in becoming a commercial pilot, earning him the distinction of being the first pilot from Sattari taluka. Saish, who recently completed his training from the Academy of Carver Aviation Pvt Ltd at Baramati-Pune, now plans to either join an airline company or become a pilot for a private chartered airline company. Hailing from a poor family, Saish completed his primary education from a Marathi-medium school at Nagargao-Sattari and pursued his secondary education from the Shree Hanuman Vidyalaya, Valpoi, and Vidya Prabodhani school at Porvorim. http://oheraldo.in/news/Main%20Page%20News/Sattari-youth-beats-all-odds-to-become-a-pilot/41075.html Congratulations to Saish! You have proved beyond doubt that to excel is within you. We have many such Saish in Goa but sadly do not have the same conviction and perseverance. Saish, has not only made his family and relatives proud but all Goans. Atleast, now I hope Government will assist him to waive off his loan. Agnelo Pinheiro
