Pulsus CEO urges government to establish aviation university, MRO facility, near Bhogapuram International airport
VIZIANAGARAM Pulsus Group Chief Executive Officer, Gedela Srinubabu, on Sunday urged the Union and State governments to establish an Aviation University and a Maintenance-Repairs and Overhaul (MRO) facility adjacent to the upcoming international airport at Bhogapuram in Vizianagaram which is expected to be operational by June, 2026. Addressing the media, he said: 'The proposed University and MRO would boost economic activity in Srikakulam-Vizianagaram-Visakhapatnam corridor within no time. North Andhra could witness $500 billion in economic activity over the next two decades if the government takes steps to quickly develop the region in tune with its Vision-2047 document approved by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.' He added: 'In the backdrop of the recent plane accidents, the Union government has been prioritising aircraft maintenance. Establishing an MRO facility for planes at Bhogapuram would create thousands of jobs quickly. Skilled man-power will also be available with special training programmes. The establishment of an Aviation University will also pave the way for students in the region to pursue various courses related to aviation. ' Mr. Srinubabu also highlighted other development projects that could transform the region such as pharmaceutical hubs in Vizianagaram-Srikakulam, the construction of sea port at Mulapeta and a cargo airport in Palasa in Srikakulam district, would make North Andhra the best destination for investment. He added: 'The backward tag of the region would be a thing of the past, if the goals of Vision-2047 are achieved in a phased manner. Pulsus group which is involved in health informatics will join hands with the government to conduct training programmes aimed at building skilled manpower in the State.'
