Updated on Jun 18, 2016 02:08 pm IST
Three female pilots have been inducted into Indian Air Force as the country's first women fighter pilots. Flying cadets Avani Chaturvedi, Bhawana Kanth and Mohana Singh were formally commissioned into Indian Air Force by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar. Six female cadets were competing to become fighter pilots after the government, in a landmark move, approved an IAF plan in October last year to induct them as fighter pilots.
