Sattari youth beats all odds to become a pilot
HERALD CORRESPONDENT
VALPOI, SEPT 18
When Saish, the son of a postman and hailing from a poor family and from a
remote village in Sattari taluka, expressed his desire to become a pilot, no
one outside of his family took him seriously.
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.

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.
