To create awareness about the IAF among youth, the Indian Air Force today flagged off a rally of its young officers under a student interaction drive named 'Guardians of the Sky'.
"The rally of selected IAF officers in customised Gypsies was flagged off by IAF in-charge of personnel Air Marshal P R Sharma. It would cover six cities - Gwalior, Indore, Nasik, Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad, before being 'flagged in' at Nagpur on October 5 covering 3,000 km," an IAF statement said.
These officers would meet young men and women at nine premier educational institutes in these cities, including the IITs at Mumbai, Hyderabad and Indore.
At each location, a multi-disciplinary group of IAF officers would be on hand to interact with students to provide details on career opportunities in the IAF and to answer queries.
The IAF said the drive would provide a great opportunity for students to experience glimpses of the adventurous life that IAF offers and of avenues available as an IAF officer.
