The Indian Navy has welcomed its first female pilot, in another significant milestone for women in the country's armed forces.
Shivangi, 24, who goes by one name, will be given her wings and join naval operations in a ceremony on Monday. "It's a very big thing," Shivangi told CNN."It's a big responsibility for all of us and I know that I have to do well."Shivangi completed her basic training in 2018 at the Indian Naval Academy and was brought to Kochi, in southwest India's Kerala state, to train with the Indian naval air squadron, the INAS 550.
"They had shown a presentation in which there were the various aspects of life in the navy, all those things, and that kind of motivated me," she said, adding that she then dropped out of college to join up. Shivangi said the training had not been easy but she had received"massive support" from her naval squadron in Kochi.
