Viral Video: Student Flies to Exam Center Using Paragliding to Avoid Delay

In major cities across India, traffic congestion has long been a serious issue, often causing significant delays for commuters. Office workers struggle to reach their workplaces on time, and students, especially during exams, face similar challenges.

In a remarkable incident from Maharashtra’s Satara district, a student took an unconventional approach to bypass heavy traffic and reach his examination center on time—by paragliding. The student, identified as Samarth Mahangade from Pasarani village in Wai Taluka, found himself stuck in traffic with only 15 to 20 minutes left to reach his exam center. Realizing the urgency, he opted for paragliding as a solution to avoid delays.

A video of the event has since gone viral on social media, showing Mahangade soaring through the sky with his college bag, heading towards his exam venue. His paragliding attempt was facilitated by Govind Yevale, an adventure sports expert from GP Adventures in Panchgani. With Yevale's assistance, Mahangade successfully navigated the air route and reached his exam center on time.

The video of the incident continues to gain widespread attention online, with social media users expressing amazement at the student’s resourcefulness in overcoming traffic challenges.
