Iram Habib (30), a resident of Srinagar’s downtown area has become the first and youngest woman from Srinagar to fly an aircraft.
Iram pursued her bachelors in forestry from Dehradun and post-graduation in forestry from the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Kashmir.
Though she studied forestry, she did not let her dream die.
While Iram’s family wanted her to pursue PhD in forestry and get a government job, she kept looking for options to train as a pilot.
Iram completed her training from Miami in the US in 2016 and returned to India to get a commercial pilot licence.
The 30-year-old has two job offers in India at the moment.
