Guwahati, Assam — In a region where access to professional aviation careers has long remained limited, a new movement is taking shape. The Air Bodoland Training Academy, operating under Connection Point Academy OPC Pvt. Ltd., is emerging as a catalyst for youth development in North-East India—especially among rural and tribal communities.
Focused on practical and affordable training for airline, airport, and hospitality roles, the academy is enabling thousands of young people to enter sectors once viewed as distant aspirations. Supported by the PMEGP government scheme, the institution has established an Aircraft Model Training Centre where learners gain real-time exposure that mirrors industry environments.
But beyond infrastructure and coursework, it is the leadership driving this mission that stands out.
A Woman at the Helm of Change
Munmun Singha Chowdhury, Founder and Director of the academy, leads this initiative with a clear vision: aviation careers should not be a privilege reserved for a few.
In an industry where training is often expensive and entry pathways unclear, her approach challenges long-standing barriers. The academy offers short and structured aviation courses with a commitment to ensuring that students don’t just complete training—but step confidently into employment.
Students hailing from remote villages now find themselves preparing for roles at airports across the country, marking a shift in both opportunity and perception.
A Safe and Encouraging Space for Young Women
Air Bodoland has also emerged as a vital support platform for women in the region. Many female trainees arrive after facing social resistance or financial limitations, yet leave with renewed self-belief and employable skills.
The academy emphasizes dignity, protection, and a learning environment where young women can dream ambitiously without fear. For many, it becomes not only a training centre but a place where independence first takes flight.
Broadening Horizons Beyond Employment
While aviation remains its core offering, the academy encourages broader skill development—cultivating entrepreneurial thinking in wellness, beauty, baking, and personal transformation sectors. The objective is clear: the youth should not be limited by circumstances but empowered to create opportunities of their own.
This mindset-driven model aims to shape a generation confident in both professional and personal achievement.
A Quiet Revolution in North-East India
What began as an educational institution is steadily evolving into a social transformation initiative. For families who once believed the aviation industry was unreachable, Air Bodoland represents a shift in both dreams and realities.
Under Munmun’s leadership, the academy stands as a testament to what determined vision can achieve—opening doors, reshaping futures, and giving young people a reason to look upward with purpose.
As the movement grows, one truth becomes evident: aviation in North-East India is no longer a distant horizon. It is a career path taking root in the very heart of the region, led by a woman determined to ensure every aspiring student finds their wings.
