Saji Thomas jots down these inspiring lines in a paper and shows: 'I can’t hear or talk but I could build an aircraft and fly it.'

Despite building a light aircraft all by himself, there has been complete apathy from the government and the private sector in terms of offering a good job or granting funds to fuel his ambitions.

Even as the government trumpets the 'Make in India’ campaign, real stars like Saji who can even turn scrap into a goldmine are totally ignored.


He badly needs the government’s help in getting a license for his aircraft and a good job to support his family. But will Saji ever get the recognition he rightly deserves?
Saji and his wife Mariya share the trials and tribulations of an incredible journey with Manu A B.
