Women Contingent At R-D Parade Will Be Inspired To Join Forces: Air Force Chief

Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhari highlighted that the joining of women in the Indian Air Force contingent in the Republic Day parade and the flypast will inspire the next generation of women to join the Air Force. In this year’s Republic Day parade, the Indian Air Force is strongly showcasing its capabilities, including 16 female pilots taking part in the fly-past over Kartavya Path.

In fact, for the first time, an all-women Tri-Service contingent will march down the Kartavya Path, and women pilots will also enthrall the audience during the Indian Air Force’s fly-past, which represents Nari Shakti (women power). However, the contingents of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) will also consist of only female personnel.

A huge crowd of citizens gathered at Kartavya Path this morning to watch the iconic Republic Day Parade on the occasion of India’s 75th Republic Day. The Republic Day Parade is currently underway at Kartavya Path in the National Capital in spite of the cold wave and challenging weather conditions today. This year, the 90-minute Republic Parade will be graced by French President Emmanuel Macron as Chief Guest.
