New Delhi, May 25: Pawan Hans, one of India's leading helicopter companies, has been given a 'No Objection Certificate' (NOC) to operate as a scheduled operator in India.

The company will now join the club of scheduled airlines such as Indian Airlines and Air India. It is also exploring the possibility of venturing into fixed-wing operations. The company was incorporated in 1985 with the objective of providing helicopter services to the petroleum sector, linking inaccessible areas of the country, and operating charters to promote tourism.

Since its inception, the company has operated several helicopters and offered a wide range of services through its fleet of 34 helicopters, which includes Bell 206L4, Bell 407, Dauphin SA 365N, Dauphin AS 365N3, and Mi-172. In addition, Pawan Hans is also acquiring two new Dauphin N3 helicopters, which will be delivered in September-October.

Pawan Hans is a leader in providing offshore helicopter support in India. Its helicopters operate for Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC) at Bombay High and Hardy Exploration at Chennai. Public Sector Units (PSUs) such as GAIL use them for pipeline surveillance. The company also has a strong presence in the North East. Its helicopters are deployed in the States of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Sikkim, and Tripura. Regular passenger services are being run under the aegis of these State Governments.

The company also provides helicopters to Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep islands for inter-island helicopter services.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...
