The man who fulfils his workers’ desire to fly | Fusion - WeRIndia

Vishwanath, a farmer from Shiraganahalli village in Harapanahalli taluk, Davanagere, recently gained widespread admiration for his heartfelt gesture.

After leaving his career as a police constable in the state intelligence department, he dedicated himself to farming on his 14-acre areca plantation.

His decision to take his 10 female workers, all permanent staff on his farm, on a flight from Shivamogga to Goa to fulfil their dream of flying garnered attention and praise.

In an interview, Vishwanath mentioned that he was pleased to have made the women’s dream come true.

These workers had always expressed a desire to experience flying, and he felt a deep sense of fulfilment in helping them achieve that.

Originally, he had planned to take them on a pilgrimage to Tirupati, but due to scheduling conflicts with Aero India, he altered his plan and chose Goa instead.

He explained that Shivamogga, being the closest airport, made the trip more convenient.

The women, who had never flown before, were initially apprehensive about the flight, especially during takeoff and landing.

However, as the journey progressed, their anxiety subsided, and by the time of the return flight, they were more at ease and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Vishwanath remarked that their happiness during the trip was contagious, and he, too, found immense joy in their delight.

The group visited several notable locations in Goa, including the Calangute and Baga beaches, and also enjoyed a boat ride along the Mandovi River.

Additionally, they toured the city of Panaji, soaking in the beauty of the coastal town. Vishwanath shared that the smiles on their faces brought him immense joy and contentment.

Reflecting on his career shift, Vishwanath said that farming had brought him peace of mind.

He expressed that his new life was far healthier and free of the stress he had experienced as a police constable.

Through his selfless act, Vishwanath not only fulfilled the dreams of his workers but also embraced a more fulfilling and joyful way of life.
