Bandipora: A Muslim Kashmiri female pilot has asked youth from Jammu and Kashmir to aim higher in life.

Capt Sami Ara, the first Muslim woman pilot of Kashmir to have a commercial pilot license (CPL), was speaking at the conclusion of a two-day career counseling conclave for girl students at the mini-secretariat here when she was quoted as sayng by Greater Kashmir: "Hailing from a far-flung place like Sumbal, if I can fly a plane, students here are capable of achieving better heights.”

Ara hails from Bandipora district.

Inspiring students in the Valley, Ara said, “The students studying in government schools are as capable as those studying in private schools but they need to aim higher and remain firm till they actualise their dreams.”  

Urging parents to repose trust in their children, she said, “They should not restrict their children and stop them from actualising their dreams or else their confidence will be shattered.”
