What is the history of Jodhpur Airport? Who played an important role in World War II?

The special thing about the history of Marwar has been that most of the rulers here have always given importance to change over time and have adopted modernization and renewal. The most prominent name in this category comes from Maharaja Ummed Singh. Those who are also called the makers of modern Jodhpur. During his reign, new technologies had arrived in the world and he was never behind in using those techniques. However, their earlier rulers also encouraged renewal. In which the name of Maharaja Sir Pratapsinghji is also notable. During his time, he also built many modern buildings, buildings, etc.

1903, this is the year when Maharaja Umaid Singh Ji was born and the same year the first controlled, continuous, and operated aircraft took off in the world. Although if we talk about our mythological times, then according to the Ramayana period, aviation like Pushpak Vimana can be described at that time, if we talk about modern times, then it is considered as a matter of modern aviation. Perhaps this was also the reason that Maharaja Umaid Singh Ji had so much interest in operating the aircraft. Therefore, he is also called the father of aviation in Jodhpur. Maharaja Umaid Singh Ji was a successful ruler with visionary and modern views.

Maharaja Ummed Singh Ji started the construction of Jodhpur Airport in Ratanada near Umaid Bhawan Palace in 1924-25, which was fully completed by 1933. About 1 lakh 30 thousand rupees were spent at that time. In 1931, he started the Flying Club. By 1933, he had built 15 air stations in Marwar and also built electricity and light facilities, control towers, petrol-stores, and two runways at Jodhpur Airport. One for the runway public and the other for the runway Maharaja's private airplane. From time to time, Maharaja Ummed Singh Ji kept getting necessary and modern construction work done at the airport. He also got a building constructed for Assistant Aerodrome Officer.

The most important thing about Jodhpur Airport is that during the Second World War, in 1938-39 more than 1000 aircraft flew from here. At that time this airport was very helpful for the Royal Air Force. Apart from this, Jodhpur Air Base was actively effective even during the Kargil War of 1999.

Maharaja Umaid Singh Ji himself had knowledge of operating the aircraft and he also had 3 private aircraft of Sport, Cromper Sweet, and Prasivalgal. The fourth plane, Leopard Moth, was gifted to Maharaja by Seth Bhagchand Soni.

Maharaja Umaid Singh Ji had made a lot of efforts to make Jodhpur Airport an international airport, but it could not happen. But he set up a flying club for the general public of Jodhpur so that people can enjoy an aerial tour of Jodhpur city and see the city from a different perspective. The common people had to pay 10 rupees for air travel. Every day 3 Airways used to land at Jodhpur Airport. Air France, K.L.M. Airlines, and Indian transcontinental airways.

The Jodhpur Airport is currently operated by the Airport Authority of India. Today, Jodhpur Airport has many facilities like a cafeteria, pre-paid taxi service, luggage trolleys, on-call medical facilities, and wheelchairs for physically challenged passengers.

What is a ship house? How was it made and what is its history?

Another example of Marwar's architecture is this building, which cut a huge rock and gave it the shape of a ship (ship), hence it is called a ship house. This historic heritage is located in Nagori Gate of Jodhpur city.

Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh Ji built this building in 1886 for his private residence. Among the other rulers, he made the most trips abroad, which was mostly by ship, so he thought of building a ship-shaped building for his residence as well. Which was directed by the then State Engineer Home. This building is three-story which was no surprise to the city and its craftsmanship is also worth seeing. Stables for horses were built in the lower floors and two polo grounds were also built near the hill as Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh ji was very interested in the sport of polo. Choose a fleet and rent a Taxi in Jodhpur for a closer look at Ship House with JCRCAB.

But Maharaja Sir Pratap Singh Ji could not stay in this building for a long time and he got a new building constructed in Ratanada. Because the ship house was located in the east and the wind speed is often from west to east, due to which the polluted air of the city used to come in this direction.

Jodhpur Broadcasting Station was constructed on 25 January 1949 at Ship House. Some Marwari songs and bhajans were broadcast from the Maharaja's private transmitter. Today, due to lack of care, this building is losing its popularity. Encroachment is also happening in the surrounding areas.

However, this building is personal property of the Maharaja and consideration is being made to make it a heritage museum. So that this historical heritage can be decorated and made popular again. Book a Car Rental in Jodhpur and enjoy it.
