“Who says only big people should have big dreams?” asks farmer who applied for loan to buy helicopter

Citing that farming had become unaffordable, a 22-year-old cultivator from Maharashtra's Hingoli has applied for a bank loan of over Rs 6 crore to purchase a helicopter and rent it out. Kailas Patange approached a bank in Goregaon with his loan application on Thursday. Patange, who owns two acres of land, said irregular rainfall and drought-like conditions had made farming unaffordable over the years.
