In an initiative sure to make students squeal in delight, the Mumbai University has partnered with Pawan Hans to give helicopter joyrides to its students at a 10 per cent concession. The announcement was made yesterday when an MoU was signed between varsity’s Garware Institute of Career Education and Pawan Hans to offer dual degree course of BSc (Aeronautics) and aircraft maintenance engineering.
